The Nutcracker


Victoria had her Ballet recital on December 5th. She was a mouse and a snowflake in The Nutcracker. The mice had to run around on stage and play dead at the end when the mouse king died....but Victoria watched the Nutcracker and Mouse King fight and then when all the mice left the stage she stayed behind because she wanted to pick up the mouse king's sword.


They changed from a mouse into a snowflake. She comes out on stage and they circle around the Snow Queen...but Victoria decided to sit behind the Queen and play with her snowflake wands, she did get up and dance around her. One of the girls' snowflake wands got caught in the SnowQueen's tutu and she tried to get it out but failed and then one of the little snowflakes also tried to get it out and it was so cute.


Her Papa gave her 3 yellow and 3 pink roses afterwards and she was so happy to get her flowers. As you can see on her face. We went back to our house with close family and friends and had spaghetti. french bread, salad and yummy ballerina cupcakes.


As a mother, I am just so very proud of her and all that she does. I cried when I saw her on stage and at that very moment I looked at her and thought that she is growing up to be such a beautiful little girl...she is no longer my baby.
