<\/a><\/p>\nAlix’s dance recital was Saturday may 16 @ 7pm. She did a tap dance and a ballet dance. She was so excited for her first recital and yet VERY nervous at the same time. As expected she did MARVELOUS on both of them. <\/p>\n
Grandma Ackerman sent her some flowers in the mail that arrived Friday afternoon. She thought that was pretty special and has guarded them with her life ever since. <\/p>\n She also got a box of chocolates. Boy did she feel like a queen! <\/p>\n Grandma and Grandpa Thompson got her some flowers that she received at her recital (too bad they weren’t here to give them to her, but she was excited nonetheless). She again was on cloud nine. She put both bunches together and got a beautiful bouquet. <\/p>\n Our neighbors, Roberta, Sophie and Emilie were able to attend too. Alix was very excited about that. <\/p>\n As a surprise they had all the dads go up to the stage area for one of the songs. The girls didn’t even know they would be there. It was very cute.<\/p>\n Her recital was held in a church. A VERY old church. It was a very different atmosphere than what I had originally expected, but it was done very nicely. There were refreshments after wards and there was a good feel about the whole thing. So, it was only 8 days ago……I guess I need to be more on top of these updates, really!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ramblings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1055"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1066,"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055\/revisions\/1066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
