A journey for my girls that started back in the summer came to fruition this past weekend. My sweet girls danced in the Moscow Ballet Company's production of the Nutcracker.
Back in the summer sometime, we received an email saying they were doing auditions. I asked my girls and they all thought that they would really like to give it a try. So we went. And-they all earned a part. Parker and Presley were in the Russian variation and Pacie was in the Chinese variation as well as being a butterfly.
They rehearsed nearly every Friday for three months and finally this past Saturday it was finally time to perform.
They had to be at the venue six hours before their first performance for costume fittings, pictures and rehearsal on stage with the Russian ballerinas. And once they were there-they couldn't leave. It was an all day process.
When the time finally came I think I was probably more nervous than they were but they all three danced beautifully. It was such a joy to watch them do something that they truly love.
Presley had a friend whose mom was sitting close enough to the front to get these cute pics. I just love them. You can see just by looking at her face how much she loves to perform.

I wish I had more pictures of the other two on stage! And we also somehow missed getting a picture with Grandma and Grandpa Taft. They also came to watch.
When I asked the girls if they would want to do it again, it was a resounding YES!!
It was a wonderful experience!
