First Dance Recital & Visit With Ninong Ekow

Back to back weekends of firsts. This weekend was Anna's first dance recital! I came into the weekend under the weather so I knew I needed to dig deep to keep my energy levels up. Here's the re-cap:

On Saturday morning, we met up with Anna's Ninong Ekow (godfather) and Grandma Theresa. It was really so lovely, as usual, to spend time with them. We caught up over a lovely brunch at Cafe Zola and then walked around Kerrytown where the African American Festival was in full swing - nice timing, eh? Festival, farmers market, street music and um, a petting zoo? It was everything we could have asked for in a 4 hour window :)






After, we headed home to take a quick nap and get ready for her big dancing debut. To be honest, I couldn't imagine how 'cute' a four year old would look in a purple sequin dress and makeup but I hoped to prove myself wrong. It was so much fun putting makeup on her and feeding off her excitement. This little darling loves to dance!!
