Ella's "Be a Builder" School Performance

About a month ago Ella tried out and got a part in her 3rd grade end of year program.

She was so excited! She got one of the lead lip-sync rolls! Ha!

We got the music and had her practice over and over. She got really good. Ryan thought she needed some more attitude! I wish that I had video of him "showing" her the right kind of attitude for the part. It was HILARIOUS!  

She had to performances, one in the afternoon for all of the students and one in the evening for all of the third graders and their parents.

Ella was easier to spot with her big yellow flower in her hair.

They sang some really cute songs and had some awesome dance moves!!

After a couple of practices with her teacher Ella expressed how nervous she was, so her teacher had another third grader go up and do the song with Ella.

Had to get a picture with Dad, just in case he didn't make it to the evening performance.

(He had to go meet a client)

Then that evening we all went again to watch!

Sami came along too! She took TONS of pictures! Thanks Sami!

Lilly loves music and was so happy and dancing the whole time!

Getting ready for her big part!!

Ella did an awesome job! We are so proud of her!! She was amazing! I loved her little spin!

Of course since this was a performance we HAD to give Ella some flowers!

That made her night! My sweet little kiddies!

After the afternoon performance I looked over at Ryan and he was tearing up a little bit! I asked him why and he said he was just so proud of Ella!! What a big softy!

Our family!

Ella and her amazing teacher!
