Dance With the Nutcracker

We found this cute little performance of The Nutcracker for the younger audience that actually allows you to participate in the show!  I remember going to see The Nutcracker with my Grandma around the holidays so I was super excited to introduce this show to Kate.

The audience all sat around this big dance room while the performers danced and acted out the "key" parts of the ballet.  This short, 45 minute "involved" performance was a great introduction to this classic ballet and I think Kate and Maya both loved seeing all the dancers!  Hopefully we can catch this next year and make it a holiday tradition!

Looks like the tickle bug is coming out!

In an effort to see Kate's lovely smile, no doubt!

My little love bug!

Live and up close!

Adorable!

My blue eyed babe!
