A trip back in time

We had a ward Hoe Down recently.

Jadey did a dance with the activity day girls.
She stood a head taller then most of them.

The dance started out in the shade of the evening.
The music instrumental.
The girls started dancing and I was taken back in time...
She started dancing at the age of 3 with BYU creative dance.
This dance was so similar to what she had done then.
Tears filled my eyes.
So silly.
But the ambiance, the music and my little girl...
It was a trip back in time.
It was truly joy in the moment.
Captured.
Little girlhood.
She quit dancing 2 years ago when soccer took precedence.
But she still had the grace.
And the moment was perfect for this mom.
Looking back to check on baby boy I noticed the tears in my moms eyes too.

It was her last official little girl performance.
Next month she turns 12.
