"Do that thing" & Happy Birthday to you

Saturday was Mikaela's dance recital at the "Alexander Nechita Center for the Arts, Lutheran High School."

The name of the recital was "Broadway Classics meets Hollywood Glitz"
There were a lot of talented girls ranging from age 4 to adult. [ Mikaela, I still think your mom should take the tap class and perform with you next year :) ]

Mikaela's hip hop group performed "Do That Thing". She did an awesome job with her other dancers and they were quite a site to behold in all red.


I had hoped to do a small video clip but when we got there we were told no flash photography and no videotaping. [ BOO HISS]

So I told Mikaela I would feature her in the blog but unfortunately her pictures are kind of blurry and the picture with the whole company she got put behind some tall person. [ Again BOO HISS ]

We were also celebrating because it was Melissa's birthday. We went to Fridays for lunch and had fun eating and laughing (The 2 things that Tafts are really good at).

Amanda told the waitress it was her Mom's birthday so she got a funny song which caused her to turn a lovely shade of red.

Here are the pictures to share.

Love Marilee



Mikaela's Group coming for their
applause and the
last time you will
see her because of that tall girl.





Even though this is blurry, I thought
it was
kind of cool.



Shake your groove thing girl



Keep on dancing



The whole company



Every great performer
loves
flowers




Every great performer
must always
remember
their parents in their
acceptance speech.



Every great performer must always
pose with the little people, I mean
their family.

a cherry
stem with her tongue




The birthday girl!! There was not
enough
chocolate sauce on that
Sundae.
