There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Dylan & Melissa's MasterCard!!!

Ha ha ha . . . I joked the other day to a friend that our Dance Recital experience last week would make a splendid MC Priceless commercial, so then I decided to write my own! It hurts (my wallet) to think about it! But in the end, the Recital (just like everything else in life) costs what it costs, and it's always exciting to see your kid having her 'moment' onstage! Even when she forgets the ballet steps . . . !

Backstage, Thalia & friends just can't keep still!
