The Nutcracker

Ella and Chloe have both been in ballet this fall and this weekend was the big recital of "The Nutcracker". Ella was Arabian Coffee, one of the sweets and Chloe was a wooden soldier. This was my first Nutcracker ever! Can you believe it? I never did dance and had no sisters. It was a cute production, nice and short, about 40 minutes for the whole thing. Ella did her dance, which wasn't really a dance, but slow walking, bowing, and head bobs. Chloe made it on stage with her group (Hooray!), but refused to salute to the Nutcracker. She did great at marching and was fascinated with the mice running around her so she just ended up marching the entire time. It was cute and the girls seemed to enjoy it. They especially liked the finale when they got their flowers!

Ella is the one on the left.

Chloe is the last one on the left, watching the mice.
