About fifteen years ago, Ali wore this costume and bluffed her way through her first ballet recital. Jenna, a more accomplished tap dancer at age 4, was wearing a nearly identical leotard in the same recital. More Nostalgia: Ali: Ballet | Tap || Jenna: Ballet

I was very lucky that all my birthday celebrating overlapped a weekend when everyone could be around. Besides dinner out on Sunday and playing Rock Band, festivities continued on Monday.

Mission Accomplished

We did it! Wallpapering a bathroom on Sunday was an all-day, mother-daughter bonding adventure for the three of us.
