The Nutcracker

Grandma Nettie and Alayna are just waiting for the exciting Nutcracker Ballet to start.

Alayna is pointing out to us that she wants to be "this Ballerina!" Ashley and I were lucky enough to join Grandma Nettie and Alayna for a girls night out.

Alayna was WONDERFUL. I had a purse full of treats and other than giving her a few at the intermission she was great. I think she was able to sit longer than the adults. I was afraid it wasn't going to keep her attention but it did. I think it's just any little girls dream to be a ballerina. Thanks for the fun night out, Danette. She has placed her Nutcracker pamphlet on her dresser to keep it away from Jakey. She LOVES to show it to everyone.

I am so thrilled that you went to see "the Nutcracker." Did you know that when Aunt Janet was eight she saw "The Nutcracker" for the first time and decided to be a ballerina. From then on, we went to see it every year. She took lessons and worked very hard for many years, and, when she was about fourteen, she had a dancing part in it. One of these days I will show you the pictures on my blog.
