Nutcracker

This morning we attended a ballet performance of the Nutcracker!

Our friend, Miss Trisha's daughter, Leah was the young Clara in the beginning.

AND SHE WAS WONDERFUL!!!!!

Lily, Trish, Mrs.Greene (Trisha's mom) and I sat up in a balcony to watch. It was so nice to be able to sit with them during Leah's first show! Lily had a blast too! She sat in her own seat, stood in her own seat, sat on Ms. Trisha's lap and was entertained the entire time. She clapped when she was supposed to, she said bye-bye when people left the stage, and was totally enamored by the snowflake ballerinas! I can see it now...Lily as a mouse bouncing around the stage, and only in a few years too!!

Since Leah wasn't due out again til late in the second act we left at intermission. I also didn't want to test Lily's stamina in sitting for an entire second act either! Next year, we'll give it a try though!

Leah,

CONGRATULATIONS!!! We're so proud of you!!!
