Nut-Rageous



Ahhhh....It just wouldn't be Christmas without seeing the Nutcracker every day for a week. Well, OK. I'm exaggerating. A little. Emily and Aubrey take dance from Miss Margene, who we LOVE. This year was her 20th year to put on the Nutcracker. This was Emily's 3rd year to be in the Nutcracker and Aubrey's 2nd. They had practice Monday and Tuesday night and performances Wednesday and Thursday. And they do the whole show, no condensing. All 3+ hours. But it truly is magical to see. It is very well done and the costumes are beautiful. And so are the 2 dancers shown above. A special thanks goes out to my dear mother who took the girls to one practice and one performance so I didn't have to be there all 4 nights. We love the Nutcracker, but I am so thankful it has come and now it has gone. The girls did a wonderful job. They are such good little dancers. And they loved every minute of it.

That is neat. Priscila was in their dance teacher's version of the Nutcracker. It was only 1 hr and 38 minutes. I thought that was long! Also, we only had 3 shows on 2 different nights.
