American Girl Doll with Grandma Kitty

Grandma Kitty had never been to American Girl doll... and I was MORE than happy to take her!

Rebecca was ready to go with us too!

 

 Mom always told me I could only have one American Girl Doll... but she is easy persuaded!  Especially when Grandma Kitty wants to buy her for me...  how could she disappoint both of us?

and so meet Katherine!  She is a look alike doll, we have the same color hair AND eyes!

We headed up to the American Girl Bistro for lunch...

I enjoyed their tiny cups of lemonade...

Lunch there is SO yummy and pretty affordable!

and dessert is the best!

We visited with Saige, the girl of the year...

and mom bought me a bag that holds both my sweet girls!

I was very proud!

 

It was a wonderful trip!  Thank you Grandma Kitty for Katherine!  I love her so much!

VBS, Shrek & Grandparents...

Friday we had our last day of VBS...

 

Here we are with our awesome counselor Rose!

They had a tea party Saturday evening and I begged mommy to take me.. so we headed out to a tea party at the church!

We got to perform some of our VBS songs for the moms and dads...

Sunday we headed to see Shrek the Musical at Oh Look Perform.  It was a long show, but it was awesome! 

and during all this fun daddy was in New York City and Grandma Kitty and Papa Don were here with us... I got to ride bikes with Papa Don one evening, it was great!

VBS & Belle Performance

I was so excited for Thursday!  Another day of VBS with Maribelle AND my performance with the Emerald Belles!

After VBS mom brought me home to change and get my game face on...

I was super excited to perform!

and play!

Me and my Belle Elizabeth.  She was SO awesome!

Here are all 4 numbers we performed in order of how much I liked them.  The kick routine was HARD!  Hopefully you can find me in each video... look towards the back!

Concentrating so hard!

I got a little prize for working so hard all week...

I loved dance camp!  I'm excited that I have jazz and hip hop at Majestic this year.

Mom thinks this will be the year that I have to decide whether or not I want to be a ballerina or a dance team girl.  But she's already told me no matter what I still have to keep taking ballet. :)

VBS & Emerald Belles

We started off the week with some pink highlights on Sunday night (don't worry, they weren't permanent)...

 

But oh how I wish they were!

Monday morning it was time to tackle 2 new camps... VBS in the morning with Maribelle and Emerald Belle dance camp in the afternoon with Piper & Bella.

First stop, to pick up Maribelle!  We were super early so we stopped at the park to play...

 

Day 2... ready for VBS!

 

and then off to Belle camp.  Day 1 of Belle camp was hard.  I got lost (there are about 100 kids) and I couldn't find my Belle because they all look alike.  After a quick conversation with the coach I had my own personal Belle for the rest of the week and I had a blast!

Working on my splits...

 

Having fun doing freeze dance at the end of camp with Piper and Bella...

Practicing my pirouettes...

Mom shot a quick video of my dance moves...

This is my Belle Elizabeth... she was SUCH a great friend to me all week!

Day 3...

Purple hair!

and Maggie got some pink...

Ready to dance!

Conga line!

Belle camp gets a thumbs up!  We'll save performance day for another post!
