Ballet fun!

Ryan went to father's and sons with some of the guys in the ward May 2 and the same day my sister Liz called and told me about the ballet "Coppelia" that Ballet Etudes was putting on at the MAC. I found a babysitter last minute that could watch Elyse but she couldn't come until 7 so she agreed to come and pick up Elyse at the MAC and take her to her house. So we went to dinner at Red Robin with Liz and her two girls and my girls. We had a fun time and we were all dressed up and ready for the show!

After dinner we were walking/running out to the car with balloons in hand. The girls kept them away from the bushes and did so great. Then right as we were getting into the car, Haylee's hit something and popped! She burst into tears and started crying about wanting to go back and get another. It was 7:00 at this point, I still had to buy tickets and pass Elyse off to the sitter. So I convinced her to get into the car and she was still crying. I told her when we got home I would blow one up for her. Addilyn looked over at Haylee and said "Haylee sad?" I explained that she was sad because her balloon popped. Then Addilyn said "Here Haylee" and handed her balloon over for Haylee to hold. Haylee immediately smiled and stopped crying and then Addilyn said while smiling the hugest smile "Haylee happy mommy!" It was so sweet!

We made it to the MAC in record time with minimal speeding! We unloaded, bought the tickets, I got the girls in their seats and Kaylani my cousin sat with my girls while I took Elyse out. My babysitter Ashlyn was waiting curbside and picked up Elyse. Then I ran back and got into my seat before the house lights were dimmed!
We got front row seats and the girls loved every minute of it! Addilyn even did pretty well. (this is at the end and Addilyn was tired of sitting and posing for the camera!)

thr girls acting like the dolls on the show!

After the show we got to go backstage, meet the the dancers, play in the fog and dance on the stage. I think that this was their absolute favorite part!
