Nutcracker

Ash had her Nutcracker performance back around the first of December. She was a purple cherub this year. She was so excited and looks very graceful when she dances. Since she memorized the dance so easily her teacher put her in charge (doesn't sound like my daughter at all!!!) she told the girls where to stand and who went where, perfect job for her!!! As usual we took the girls to the Saturday performance and Monday was just me and her.

Here are pics from the dress rehearsal on Friday.

 

 

 

Ky picked her out the perfect flowers!

Monday was crazy. I got put in charge of two different groups of girls. You wouldn't believe the stuff they do and the places they get red lipstick!!! But in the end all went well, even some really quick costumes changes. I enjoyed being baby-less but also realized I am so glad we only have four girls! Handling 28 plus their costumes and stuff was a headache!

Goofing around on Monday back stage.

Next year she gets to be a mouse and the year after a flower, which means pointe and she is super excited about that.

When we were done with the Monday night performance me and Ash headed over to get our traditional pretzel only to find they closed, we were so bummed. We got hot chocolate instead and scalded our tongues! We had fun and now she is preparing for Aladdin come May, the costumes are GORGEOUS.
