Minnie Mouse

This weekend, Sunny had her end-of-year dance recital, so naturally, a troop of her adoring fans (i.e. friends and family) turned out to support. My parents and sister ventured west, our friends from Baltimore headed north (they stayed for the long weekend), and we brought assorted friends from town to the recital on Saturday evening. It was exactly what you’d expect from a local, elementary-aged dance show – Sunny performed to a Disney version of “Hey Mickey!” dressed as Minnie Mouse. There was great confusion and adorableness displayed on stage, with a dash of tap for good measure. My friend Anne Mae made that ridiculously awesome Minnie Mouse cake to celebrate the occasion. I truly don’t know how I’ve befriended such talented, generous bakers. My kids sure are lucky!

Be sure to take note of the yellow shoe covers on Sunny’s tap shoes – the highlight of the costume, I’d say.

An iPhone bathroom snap for good measure as it captures that group of little girls so perfectly. What fun we had!
