These beautiful dancers were photographed on Saturday at the 5pm performance of 'Alice in Wonderland' put on by Grace's dance school. 
It was an honor for me to help the girls with their costumes and makeup.

The third picture is hysterical! ;-) I've seen those faces a million times around my house.

These are gorgeous Gail. So happy the recital went so well and you were able to be a part of it backstage. I will miss that since Natalie isn't dancing anymore.
