2007-2008 Ballet Year

Karissa's ballet recital. Karissa's ballet play was 'Cinderella'. Karissa gets 'pointe' shoes this year. Harry(Papa); his mom, Grandma Bess, bought her beautiful dark orange roses. It was so neat to share this with Grandma Bess now that she has moved here to be closer to our family. We also enjoyed our customary/traditional ice cream~  (Karissa liked her flowers so much, she hung dried these and their still in her room) =) .

2006-2007 Ballet Year

Karissa's ballet recital. Harry/Papa chooses 'Bright Hot Pink' roses this year. =) Karissa has changed from Tammy's School of Dance, to Pittsburgh Ballet House. The play is 'The Widow's Daughter'. Karissa got some flowers from a Dashing fan... Papa. ;) I was glad Harry was able to get a picture of Karissa and our family before Kenny went 'running off' again..He was also thought Karissa's pink roses looked good enough to eat. =)

2005-2006 Ballet Year

Karissa's ballet recital. Harry/ Papa & I found 'Blue flowers' to match Karissa's outfit she had for her recital. Karissa danced to the 'Lord of the Rings' melody "The Shire". Her outfit was very pretty, but I kept thinking it would have been cool to be dark green to match the song. :) She did an amazing job~ Kevin keeps saying "sisters beautiful". =)

2004-2005 Ballet Year

Karissa's ballet recital. Karissa liked her pink 'tutu'. She was given lovely pink roses from Papa/Harry~ (And Karissa's favorite Hershey Chocolate bar~ =) [Karissa danced to 'raindrops keep falling on my heard', one of Harry's favorite songs.]

2003-2004 Ballet Year

Karissa's first ballet recital. It was so much fun to watch her perform, she smiled the most of anyone up there. She was our star! :) The best part was seeing how much she smiled & had such a good time on the stage. Harry/Papa bought her beautiful white roses for her first dance performance~. :)
