Night of the Nutcracker!

What a night of magic, dancing delight and dreamy dresses!  we had a lovely time with Oma, Alicia, and Claudia.  Julia was entranced, and very sleepy near the end. (not to mention melting down as we got home and she had to go to bed instead of stay awake and dance all night... poor girl, it is so hard being three...)
I was wearing my gloves from prom, so Julia wanted some as well !  i still had the gloves from Cynthia's wedding, so those worked for her! :) she never took them off.

Julia's ballet teacher was the dance choreographer and artistic director.  The youth ballet was the cast, as well as some adult and professional dancers.  the costumes and effects were so lovely and enchanting..... i want to make flower wreaths like the ones they danced with in the waltz of the flowers! maybe that will be the art project of the week!!

Mmmmmmm . mommy i don't know what i like more, the spoon or the avocado. mmmm.
