Pretty in Pink

It's that time of year when pretty pink tutus are oh-so-carefully placed on little girls' sun-kissed bodies, hair is tightly pulled back in almost-perfect buns, a shot of blush is applied to the cheeks, and a swipe of lipgloss meets the smiles of excited little girls. 

Yes, it's dance recital season.

And Allie and the dance troupe recently took the first step toward the big dance with Picture Day. All dolled up in their costumes and a bit of makeup brightening their eager faces, the little ballerinas lined up and posed for the camera.
