Courtney was in her first performance of the Nutcracker this last weekend. She was pretty excited and their dance was very cute. Her class was the youngest group again and they were all concentrating on their steps so much they had a hard time remembering to smile, but they were great anyway. They came out hiding under Mother Cinnamon's skirt and at the end of the dance she ordered them to hide under again when they left the stage. We were all impressed with the performances of the older girls. They looked so professional. Courtney is excited to someday be the sugar plum fairy because she got to wear pink and had a solo. Luckily it wasn't too long and so the little kids didn't get too restless. Paige was standing up on my lap and cheering for each dance. I can see that she'll want to be in ballet too, when the time comes. It is so fun that Leanne gets to be in the same class as Courtney and she also had a little girl from the ward in her class this year. It was a great start to the Christmas season for us.
