Nutcracker 2018!

Well...another Nutcracker is in the books and we can't believe it!  3 months of rehearsals and lots of hard work and it is over in one weekend.  We are all still basking in all of the holiday glory.

Diana and her fellow dancers of NEDE wow'd us.  We think the production gets better every year!

So....Diana was a Party Child and a Polichinelle in Saturday's show and a Polichinelle in Sunday's show.  We snapped a few pics but there will be better, professional shots coming soon!

and the Show....

Diana was THRILLED to be chosen as one of the "Polis" that got to jump out of the skirt at the end of her number :)

The Cast Party

What a wonderful time the cast and parents had at the party after the show on Sunday night.  We enjoyed a dinner at Coach Stop and a fun cake surprise.  One of the parents made a cake for the kids and it was designed like the one in the show.  The kids were so excited.  What was more exciting to them was being able to hang out with the professional dancers and get their autographs- priceless!

The one and only and wonderful Mrs. Mullen who gets the credit for ALL of this....
