The Nutcracker

Last weekend I took Nadia to see The Nutcracker for her very special Christmas gift from Mommy.  It was sooo much fun to do!  I told her about it ahead of time, and she couldn't wait!  We had a very special time getting ready for it together, and once we arrived at the beautiful auditorium, Nadia was enthralled by the performance.  She hasn't stopped dancing and leaping and twirling ever since then!  She was practically bursting with excitement as she anticipated that night...and I love how now she practically bursts with excitement as she remembers it!

Before...we both did our hair in rag curls.

Here we are!

We love each other so much!

So fancy in the dress Aunt Toto gave her!

She looked like a miniature Clara

All ready for a sweet mommy-daughter date!

Practically bursting with excitement!

Waiting for it to start!

Afterwards: One final snuggle with my sleepy, curly daughter before putting her in her bed.
