It was a beautifully sunny day for little Georgia's ballerina birthday this past Sunday in San Mateo. The birthday girl greeted me in her leotard and tutu, with pink bows in her hair, ready to turn 4 and to celebrate... ballerina style! So that's exactly what we did! Heather, Georgia's mother had a beautiful set up in their backyard, and Georgia's guests' eyes grew wide as I wheeled in my tutu tower (the tutu tower deserves its own blog post...to be attended to at a later date), stacked high with over 20 tutus for Georgia and her guests to choose from.
But, first things first! We had to set the mood of our dance lesson by sitting down to read Angelina Ballerina. After our reading, we warmed up by trying out some of Angelina's moves, including our arabesques, which were beautiful, but had the unfortunate effect of knocking over Mrs. Mouslings cheddar cheese pies (insert silly miming by the dancers and an explosion of giggles). Being nice and warmed up, it was time to choose tutus, then we paraded around in butterfly wings and perched on flowers, skipped in partners across the patio and finished things up with a game of freeze dance using our fairy wands.
Once our curtsies finished up the dancing portion of the day, it was time to make our own fairy wands, and there were some beautiful creations, these were some crafty ballerinas.
It was such a fun afternoon, Georgia was the perfect hostess and all her guests were charming as was the setting of the party. Thank you to Georgia and her family for letting me celebrate with them!
