This weekend was filled with the Nutcracker for the wee ones and I. Graeme made his debut and Lily Wen danced in it for the second time. I may have mentioned a time or two how Lily Wen LOVES/LIVES to dance. Each day, she comes home and puts on her leotards and dances all evening. She takes two dance classes on Monday night and then HAD to be in the Nutcracker too. This had her dancing 2-4 nights a week for the last few weeks and she has been in heaven. Graeme got roped in by association but don't let that sweet face fool you. He LOVED it at least the performing part and I have been told by several friends that he stole the show on Friday night. There were four performances so here are some of my favorite pictures!

He added something to each performance.
Lily Wen performed her first solo. She was excellent!
The Dance of Enchantment
So focused
Tap dancing
Each year Lily Wen gets a Nutcracker to add to her collection.
I started Graeme's collection this year with a Pirate Nutcracker!

Just me and the wee ones before the last performance. Such a pretty first snow!
All that concentration to bow!
Next years Christmas card!

After the Christmas parade, they performed one last tap dance.
I love watching them dance. The Nutcracker is over for another year. Christmas is just a few weeks away and yet there is so much to do. I am one blessed Mom. I am off to wrap presents and sing carols. I found my Christmas Spirit in the eyes of my wee ones.

We took our girls to the Nutcracker for the first time ever this December and they loved it. It was the first time for Mommy and Daddy, too!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to a fantastic 2010!!!
