The Nutcracker!

Anna was invited to participate in Utah Regional Ballets Nutcracker as the little party girl. She has been so excited to participate. After every practice I ask her what she does and her answer is always the same; "I rock my baby and pose. Then I pretend to be asleep when my pretend dad carries me.". That is pretty much what she did!
Last night was her first of three performances. I was so nervous for her because she has never performed in front of a bunch of people. I thought for sure that she would freak out, but she was perfect. She was the cutest little party girl. My favorite part of her performance was when she had to sit still and rock her baby, but you could see her leaning forward to look into the orchestra pit. I guess I would have been curious too.
Here she is before she got dressed. Those ringlets were cute but such a pain! I put so much hairspray in there that they actually didn't come out after she slept on them last night!
Here she is in costume.
