Grand finales

The end of the school year also signaled the end of the kids' spring sports.  (If you don't mind calling Anna's dancing a sport...)


Will and John practicing before the last T-ball game:


Little sister keeping herself entertained:




Will and his coaches (really awesome coaches this year):



I finished teachers' gifts just in time--tote bags from this tutorial...


...some cute notepads from this Etsy shop...


....and gift cards.  Since I'm pretty sure that's what teachers appreciate the most. :-)

Last day of school:


Anna had her last dance class at the Little Gym:


On the last day, they performed a little routine for all the parents.  John recommended that I post the videos, because he said the still pictures make it look like Anna is more accomplished than she is.  Which is true.


Here's the tap dance video:

 

After the tap routine, they went into the gym for gymnastics, which is Anna's favorite part of class.













Anna finally conquered the beam:


They finished with a ballet routine:











 Of course, the finish is the main thing.  Anna did a prolonged and very thorough bow:


Then they got their medals!



So shy!

So stinkin' cute. :-)

Love this post. Great pics. Anna has really grown since last Sept when I took her to dance. That pink outfit was a lot longer on her back then!

Also wishing I had a job that involved great end-of-year swag -- lucky teachers!
