All Dressed Up

It's that time of year.

Yep.

Recital.

We've got five kids dancing in recital this year.

Five.

Costumes. Hairstyles. Shoes.

Patience. Lots and lots of patience.

And the first stop on Train Patience was trying to get a couple of cute pics of the twins before we went to dress rehearsal last night...

7 of 8 was just not feeling it yesterday...

But 8 of 8 was in his photographic glory.

Oh, yeah.

How is it, that even at the age of five, he can inherently understand that the tux can make the man?

We've been going through old pictures over the last few days as we get ready for 2 of 8's post-recital graduation gala. Reams of pictures of the older kids decked in dance regalia. And I'm so, so, so glad for those cheesy 8x10s that document the years.

And I'm glad for these cheesy current pictures too.
