Stella experienced her first Nutcracker ballet this year at our beautiful local theater. She's been loving dance for several months now, and the thought of seeing real ballet... on a stage... in a real theater.... she was beside herself. Both Grandma Carol and Grandma Jannie joined Stella and I as we enjoyed a lovely and dignified lunch of tea and scones at our tea shop and then sat captivated watching the performance. Needless to say, it was a huge hit, and it was a sweet walk down memory lane for me and my mom since I saw my first Nutcracker around the same age as Stella and was just as smitten.
Dressing up is always a thrill.
So is hamming it up for the camera.
And soaking up the Grandmas is always a treat.
Stella has been en pointe now for about three weeks, and I think we've listened to The Nutcracker over a hundred times. Yup, over a hundred times.
