Our Ball-a-lina!

My little Ball-a-lina danced, wiggled, and jumped her way to stardom on Saturday night!  She did so great and looked so cute up on the big stage.  She was a little ball of emotion before we got there (she did NOT want to wear the bow) and looked like a deer in the headlights when I left her in the hands of her teachers.  She did manage to give me a few smiles before I left though.

Here she is after the show with her teacher Carol.  Her other teacher is Kayla but we couldn't find her.

When she was done dancing her booty off we got a few pics of the famous Kayla Kat pose.

Our family's were so great to come out and support our super star.  Kayla with Grandma Lola and Gramps after her show.

Blowing the many fans a kiss.

Here she is with the Bowman clan; Garrett, Kassidy, Mike, Sharon, Andy, Mom, Jenni, Kayla, Papa, Chloe, and Quinn.

James loved watching his big sister and would yell her name and clap for her when she was on stage.  She did so great!

Andy and Jenni brought Kayla a rose.  She loved it but it soon became a weapon, lol.

Kayla loves her Garrett.  The night we had her birthday dinner she was so sad he couldn't make it (he was at a school dance), but I think she forgave him.

Kayla danced to I'm Giving Love For Christmas and Candy Cane Lane.  She did so great!  We are so proud of her.  She worked so hard, and always had fun "dancing her booty off" at class.  The week before her recital I went into her class and recorded her so we could practice at home and she loved getting the laptop out to watch herself and practice.  Way to go Kayla bug!  I'll try to get the videos up but they are being difficult.  I can't wait for the recital in the spring!
