St. Patty's Day and Last Ballet Class

We're preparing for St. Patty's Day and Makayla's last ballet class for the session.  It happens to land on St. Patty's Day so we decided to bake some green cupcakes for the party.  Makayla just loves helping with everything lately and her favorite is to help with baking.  She's pretty good at it.  We make a mess but it's so much fun!

Little Betty Crocker licking the spoon to make sure everything is tasting just right!

While they were in the oven I took her for a bath, she's really into her princess night gown dresses and topped it off with her tiara tonight while decorating her very green cupcakes. They turned out real cute and she had a blast and is excited to share with her ballet friends tomorrow morning.

Here's a video clip of her dancing a little bit to "I'm a Little Tea Pot" with her friend Jordan.  It took her a little while to warm up today.  I think there were too many people that came to watch.  Stage fright already.

Our little ballerina and her instructor Ms. Kim!  She's just so great with all the little girls!  Cute how she just does her ballet pose all on her own.
It's party time!  Jordan's daddy brought these great cup cakes from Great Dane bakery!  They were so pretty and so yummy!  Our cupcakes were only okay compared to those.  Plus we tried to make ours with reduced sugar and the frosting doesn't stay too nice.  I don't think we'll be doing it that way again.  We tried.
It's official, she conquered her class and got her certificate!  Yay!  She's ready to move to the next level after being in the Grandma & me class now for two sessions. She loves and wants to continue so we'll sign her up!
