Since I don't have brothers and sisters, I never thought I would get to be an aunt. I am so blessed to be an aunt to Chris, Tyler, Kayley, Lexi, Jayden, Natalie and Nathan. I love these little ones more than I can express. Last weekend almost the whole Hetzel clan traveled to Chattanooga to see Natalie perform in her ballet recital. I know I am biased, but she was really the best one out there in both her ballet and tap piece. You know she is the leader when she is smack in the middle, and all the other little girls stop dancing, look at her, and then start again. She never missed a beat. I was so proud if my dress had buttons, I might have busted them. I also am a little jealous because I am the exact opposite of graceful, and Natalie floats.
We didn't get any pictures of her in costume, but here she is after the recital...
She received six roses from her dad this year, one for each year she has been dancing. So sweet...
And here she is with the rest of the family...
