Nutcracker 2008

Breana took part in her very first production of the Nutcracker through the studio where she takes ballet, Columbia Dance. Because of the snow storm, the performances that were scheduled the weekend before Christmas were cancelled and rescheduled for the weekend after Christmas. So instead of staying in Yelm as planned after Christmas, we returned to Vancouver for a 12:00 rehearsal on Dec. 26th. The performance went on without a hitch and Breana loved every minute of it. I was able to watch the matinee performance with Joe & Breana's grandma & great-grandma. For the evening performance I helped back stage. It was fun to see everything come together. And even though Breana's part was no more than 5 minutes, she felt like a princess! I'm even more impressed with Columbia Dance and all they have to offer. Her teacher Jan is a really amazing teacher! Here's a few pictures from the performances.

One final pose at the end of the show. Breana was so thrilled to get a rose...her smile tells it all. She was a beautiful little angel!

Great posts DeeAnn. I loved catching up on your YEAR! And James has the best comments. That was really cute about Kyle & his helping to make the fire. The kids are looking forward to Spring Break in Vancouver.
