Roar of Love 2016

Seven years ago, I fell in love with the Roar of Love ballet.  Columbia County Ballet has been a valued part of our girls' lives as they grow into young ladies.  The Roar serves as their "recital" each year and we love every thing about it!  

This year, Ryan came back as Father Christmas.

 Our Snow Chrystal

 Our Pony

 Our delicate Cherub

 This little one, who sometimes isn't totally onboard with leaving her mommy, had no problems jumping onto the stage!

 She was thrilled and I would be lying if I said tears weren't involved - MY tears!  She was precious!

 Our little Cherub.  I know I didn't see another little on onstage while she danced.  She was wonderful!

 ***These are dress rehearsal pics so not everyone is in full costume***

The Cherub cast

 And then came Father Christmas and the Ponies

 Our sweet Maddox was given the Diamond Bottle to be in charge of delivering to Lucy during their scene....

 I still haven't mastered photography but this is Madd dashing across the stage with the bottle....

 And she delivered it safely with her best pony stance to boot!

 The ponies...the costume for these little ones is a favorite!

 Ryan looks so good all made up!

 At last, our Snow Chrystal

So thankful for sweet ballet friends like Caroline!

 I wasn't able capture any pics at all of MK during dress rehearsal....but I got this one walking in and it is a favorite!

 And I snagged this one during the show with my phone....she was a amazing!

 MK has been loved on by these two sweet ladies all year at school....how thankful we are for both of them and their love for our girl!

 And Chloe!  We love having Chloe and her family here with us!  

 Maryn was not 100% onboard with her made-up daddy!

 Some of our favorites!  

 Gran, Pop, Aunt Nellie, Emma, and Jay made the trip to Augusta to cheer on our crew!  And Pryce jumped in too!  Sadly, Colin was away at a tennis tournament and missed our fun-filled day!

 A mommy and her girls.....cannot wait to have all four of my girls with us for the production next year!

 Until next year....

Oh, how I love these three girls!
