Quinn's 6th birthday party and dance recital!

snowflake barrets and a beautiful tutu for a wonderful performance.

Chrissy checked in on the girls before the big performance.

and more dancing, and the applause was amazing!

and flowers given after the dancing! Oh, Quinn loved them!

Wow, what a wonderful weekend! Let's start with her dance performance! It was wonderful, there was a huge audience, and the girls were beautiful! Quinn got into Madonna and started squealing with delight. During the performance, she saw Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa and stopped right in front of them, but then got going again, and had a huge smile the whole time. I am so thankful for everyone who came to support her, it was wonderful seeing so many faces there, and I don't know how anyone could walk away from that not feeling good!

The girls even made the front page of the Journal Star news paper. 7 pictures of them, and Quinn was not in a single one, but that's ok! We are so thankful for her teachers and all the helpers! I think the article is wonderful!

Then we had Quinn's birthday party! It was so much fun!

What a beautiful cake! Thanks Cindy!

Quinn really got to communicate with people this time! She loved telling everyone that she is 6, her birthday is the 13th, but her party is today!

At the end of the evening, Quinn told me she wanted out of her chair, I did not get her out right away, as we were busy talking with folks, so she told me, she wanted out, take off her seat belt, she was hot and wanted out, she was cold, and wanted out, she was hurting and wanted out. The best part is that a few folks heard her, and this all happened with in a minute.
