The Nutcracker Ballet

For the third holiday season, Lia and I decided to go The Nutcracker Ballet performed by one of the local ballet companies in the area.  We decided to ask our friends Mariah, Mollie, and Gabriella to join us this year and we had a great time.  The girls got all dressed up in their Christmas dresses and we had so much fun watching the ballet together and then posing with all of the ballerinas afterwards.  It was so cute to watch Lia talking Mollie through the storyline throughout the performance as she has become quite The Nutcracker expert.  Both of these six-year old girls were so interested in all of the different dances and clapped with such enthusiasm after each number was finished.  I love sharing these magical experiences with Lia!  I don't ever want her to grow up.
