the Nutcracker, 2008 is now history, thank the Lord!
They did great, and I couldn't be more proud of my little girl! She ended up with horrible blisters on her feet, but you couldn't tell when she was on stage. Such a trooper! We had a couple crew members and cast members come down with a stomach bug during the show Sat night, and carried into different people on Sun, but the show went on!
Here are some pics...she was the NUtcracker:

then a quick change, to be ready to dance Snow (about 120 seconds to change from NUtcracker to Snow costume)...she's in the back here:

And Arabian...she's in front:

And Flowers, which is the longest dance (She's on the right):

"not her boyfriend" and his parents came to watch yesterday, and he brought her a bouquet bigger than the one her daddy got her.

Then "not her boyfriend" came over to our house and hung out for the evening.
Now we get to take a break until Spring performances! Woot!
