Prima Ballerina Natty Kat

Sunday night Natty Kat made her debut in the dance world by floating across the stage as the most adorable, absolute most precious, hurts your heart she's so cute reindeer you've ever seen.

She may have only been on the stage for 1 minute 10 seconds, but once you watch the video you'll agree; those 70 seconds will give you hours of smiles and feel goods.

Here's a video (click here) of our middle little. Natty Kat is 3rd in line at the beginning, then she becomes the star shining on the left during the turns and jumps. When her reindeer antlers slipped down over her eyes not once but twice, I had to stifle my giggles. But my favorite part has got to be the end when she's the last to leave the stage - you can bet I was waving my arms like crazy (even though I know she couldn't see with the lights). I'm not sure what hurt worse: my face from smiling so hard or my heart because it was bursting with pride, love and excitement. 
And later that night when I asked Natty if she was proud of herself she said "Sure I am! I'm proud that I bowed on stage." 
Jeeze I love her!
Congratulations to our spirited Natalie Kathryn. I still smile when I think about you in that little tutu and jingle bell reindeer antlers. Thank you for sharing your spirit and for (finally!) making me a Dance Mom :)

When she saw Grandma and Grandpa she said "You ALL came out to see ME?!!!!"

Because I left her present in the car, our star performer got to open her gift a little later
