Today was Tennasyn's first dance recital. She did an AMAZING job! Sassy and Grampa, Kate, Uncle Jeremy and Nor Nor were in her cheering section along with Mommy, Daddy and Cole. I was not sure if she would actually perform, but once she was on stage I think she was in all her glory seeing her "fans" in the crowd! My little girl surprises me every day!! Love her!
