The Nutcracker

The girls had their Nutcracker Ballet Recital.

Last year Victoria stole the show and this year she was GREAT. We were so proud of her. She came out and ran around like a little mouse and then she was a beautiful snowflake. She was so beautiful.
Then we had Elizabeth the show stealer this year. She came out on stage as a mouse and just stood there watching all the other mice run around.
The soliders and Nutcracker came out and the Nutcracker tried to help her off stage but she just stood behind them as they danced. The mice came out again and died in the battle but not Elizabeth she again just watched everyone.
The curtain closed with her still standing on stage by herself.
She then came out as a snowflake. She did dance around the Snow Queen but when the snowflakes were just watching the Snow Queen dance, Elizabeth was dancing with her. All the snowflakes went to the side of the stage and sat down but Elizabeth stayed with the Snow Queen and danced with her...while the Snow Queen danced around her trying not to hit her. Elizabeth finally went to the side of the stage but stood for a little bit and then sat down. Everyone in the audience was laughing because she was so dang cute.

Daddy gave Victoria pink flowers and a Rapunzel doll and gave Elizabeth purple flowers and a Rapunzel doll. Mamaw also gave the girls flowers.
I guess both of my girls do not have stage fright but like to be the attention grabber. I cannot wait to see the Spring recital and how well Victoria does and hopefully Elizabeth will dance this time like she did at dress rehearsal. I love my life with my girls and they keep me going everyday with new and exciting adventures.
