So cute!

Also, I covet those flowers.

Thank you!

She really loves it when she gets flowers. It's so adorable to see her looking at them for so long like, "Wow! I got flowers!"

Precious!

And that little girl behind Gia in the second picture looks like she's all business.

THanks!

Oh yeah, that's Cooper! Her family is really involved with the dance studio. Her uncle teaches there and her sister and her practically LIVE there! They take a LOT Of dance classes. She's so cute too. It just dawned on me though...her name is Cooper. I wonder if she was named after Sheryl and Alice Cooper (the Destiny Dance owners!)

Is Alice Cooper THE Alice Cooper?

He owns a lot of stuff in the Phoenix area, doesn't he.

Yep! He is pretty involved with the community. He's a pretty cool guy too. I missed out on the opportunity to have Gia's picture taken with him though. That would have been so cool! She's seen him a handful of times...but has no idea who he is.

Kudos to Gia!!!

Aw, thanks!

I can't wait to see how she does with the theater camp this summer. I think she is going to love it!

That looks like such a neat experience for her! I love the white dress and the pics of her with the flowers are too adorable!

Thank you! I'm amazed at how well she performs...even at such a young age and in such a HUGE theater! She really nailed it!

Gia is, as always, amazing. I love the one in the make-up mirror. The sense of pride in her accomplishment is so visable in the next to last picture. And the one of the three of you is great.

But of particular note is THREE pictures of you. I can't remember the last time you posted a picture of you. I had almost forgotten why Gia is so pretty.

Aw, you're so sweet! People don't usually take pictures of me, and when they do, I usually end up with a "Chandler Face" (if you remember the episode of Friends)
Thank you!
