ballet feet?

 Yes...the girls put on their pretty Birthday dresses from Mormor and Morfar and off we went to Toronto to see "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"...which the National Ballet of Canada put on at the Four Seasons Centre.

First though we HAD to pass by the Disney store as we lost the one which was only 20 minutes away...and the girls always look forward to seeing what's there...I think it brings back memories of our Disney Trip last year.

WOW...it was an absolutely STUNNING production. SO colourful,  the costumes were beautiful and the dancers incredible.

CONGRATULATIONS to all the dancers from the National Ballet of Canada and thanks to the Royal Ballet for giving Toronto the rights to re-produce their Alice in Wonderland Ballet which was just in London months ago.

Christopher Wheeldon Choreographed an amazing Ballet!

Our favourite part had to be the Cheshire cat...stunning. These dancers are not only amazing at dancing but acting too...
BRAVISSIMA!

ok...now back to reality...painting the studio again...I made a mistake and put MATT paint on the walls and should have put eggshell.
Oh well.
The floors are going down this evening...so I'll be back soon with photos!

These next couple of weeks will be a little busy and so I will be taking a blogging break...but keeping you up to date on the progress of the studio.

Thanks for stopping by...and IF you have the opportunity to go and see ALice...it's on until the 25th June...GO!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

6 TODAY!

I can hardly believe that 6 years has past so quickly...this morning our little A came and woke me up with the BIGGEST beaming smile ever! I asked if she would keep that smile on her face from now on because it was SUCH a pretty one...she just smiled more.

"Mummy, have I grown...am I bigger now?"

We chatted about when she was a baby and  how cute she was...I told her about when she was born her hair was so long that the nurses put a bow in her hair...she giggled.

Our morning was a quiet one, we opened a couple of pressies from Mormor & Morfar...Jordan opened one too...her Birthday is so close that really, if they receive a couple of presents on eachothers birthdays...it makes them happy!

As pointed out by my Dad this morning after having sent a GAZILLION pictures from our Florida trip recently...there were no good ones of Little Miss A and her missing teeth...so this one is for you Dad & Mum!

Thanks for the beautiful dresses from you too...they're from Monsoon...such a gorgeous shop for kids clothes. (the aprons are made by Jenny in Ohio...when she opens her Etsy Shop I will post about her!)

time to bake...cookies for Little Miss A's class.

YUM...the best part...

...sitting on the kitchen counter and helping Mum with cakes make for SUCH great memories!!

Then the phone calls started rolling in...for some reason she didn't mind speaking to the dozen calls which were for her this morning.

Time for school...and now I have to go back to pick her up.

We found the cookie recipe HERE...I think I'll use it again, they turned out really well...although I'm going to alow for cooling before baking next time.

We put half chocolate chips and half tootsie rolls cut up(tootsie rolls are like caramel toffee sweets)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet miss A...I love you with ALL my heart, always and forever.

To all you fabulous readers...remember TODAY is the LAST day to take advantage of my BOGO free offer on all my ETSY PRINTS...quick quick...don't miss out on the opportunity!
