Dallas Ballet Center's younger students performance of "The Candyland Express" choo-chooed across the stage at SMU McFarlin on Sunday, April 26th. The day actually started out with our family headed to PCPC for Anna to join Carol Choir as they sang for both worship services. Then, we went to Bread Winners with Kris' parents. Afterwards, Anna and I headed to the auditorium to get dressed, fix a bun, and apply make-up for her dress rehearsal. I was a backstage mother, so we needed to be there a few minutes ahead of time to help check in the rest of the dancers who were Double-Dip Cherry Maidens.
After the dress rehearsal, we enjoyed catching up with Meredith Covington, a kind and geniune mother that I so missed visiting with all year since Anna was not in her daughter, Cecily's class. We also enjoyed hanging out with Miriam Arnold, a sweet mom with a little girl, Lizzie, who is in Anna's ballet class this year.

Then, we headed back to the auditorium for the real deal! All in all, the girls had a great time and did very well waiting and performing and waiting some more. And I enjoyed my role as backstage Mom. Miriam took all of these pictures for me and made me a CD - wasn't that so sweet?
Here is a video of the dance when they went through it for the dress rehearsal. No music, but you can see the formations and the pretty Cherry Maidens!
