The Nutcracker

Last Saturday Brent and I went on a date to see The Nutcracker ballet that was being preformed by the local youth ballet.
I love The Nutcracker - it's my all-time favorite Christmas story, music, and ballet.

One of the things that made this performance extra special was one of our friends was in it!! M was absolutely AMAZING! Granted, I'm not trained in ballet and am definitely no expert, but she had a certain stage presence that was just truly stunning. She portrayed Columbine (one of Godfather Drosselmeyer's toys he shows off to the children before he brings out the Nutcracker) one of the snowflakes, and one of the flowers. Sorry some of the pictures are blurry - it's harder than I thought to get a picture of someone moving! :)
Great job, M! We're so proud of you!
