Stella had her first dance recital this past weekend and I must say…my heart melt. She was such a little ballerina and really took her dancing seriously. Actually the dance teacher made her the leader of the other ballerinas in her class. So we were beaming. They danced to a segment of Wizard of Oz, and they were the little muchkins. There were other dancers in their routine who were Dorothy, the Good Witch, the Bad Witch etc. When the bad witch came on the stage all the muchkins ran off the stage except Stella got sidetracked into a corner by the bad witch and I could tell she got a little scared. She hesitated, but then finally ran passed the witch to the other little muchkins. For a second, I thought she was going to have a meltdown. But she performed like a true ballerina. (Sidenote: We did capture the performance all on video and of course I would post it, but our damn camcorder is having major issue. Seth spent two hours trying to upload it on our computer with no luck. We were so frustrated we almost threw it against the wall! Yet another new thing we have to buy.Urghh!) 
She is so darling, I love their little costumes. What a big accomplishment to be the leader in her class, way to go Stella!
What a cutie!!
She has grown up so fast. I love dance recitals.
oooh, that dress! what a darling. and how fun!
She looks beautiful — what a sweet little group of ballerinas! No wonder you are so proud!
Stella is such a doll! Sorry about your camcorder. That is so frustrating!
How fun to have a little girl and go to dance recitals! She looks so beautiful.
Holy cow she is so cute. I love that ballerina dress. What a performance. I’m sure Stella knew exactly what she was doing. Too cute.
Stella is purely delicious girl! You’d better hold on to that little lady:)
I am so sorry about your camcorder. I really hope you get it figured out. Stella is absolutely adorable and her dress is so fun and frilly!
Oh my goodness – she is absolutely GORGEOUS! It’s always my favorite when the little teeny dancers come out on stage.
She is so dang cute! I love those proud parent moments when our kids shine. So sorry about your camcorder. It seems like lots of things have been breaking a lot for you. I’m so sorry!
These Stella pictures are so cute. And I love the story of her being chased by the witch and bravely performing throughout. Hope you can get that camcorder going!

Love the pictures. She is so precious in that outfit.
She looks so adorable, and I love her costume. Sounds like she is already a star dancer.
