The CK Daily – A Time of Celebration
Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a great start to the week!
We had a very exciting weekend as my 5-year-old niece, Charlotte, had her first ballet recital on Saturday. I took ballet as a child and absolutely loved it, so when Charlotte signed up to take classes I was thrilled. The recital was themed after the movie “Frozen” and it was every bit as cute as you might think! Charlotte was nervous in the weeks leading up to the show, but she pushed past her fear and performed beautifully! We were all so proud of her!
We also celebrated my other nieces’ 2nd birthday on Sunday. She’s at the age where she’s starting to understand birthdays and presents so it was a lot of fun to watch her open her gifts! It was a great weekend of celebrating!
