Nutcracker #1

Sweet Pea is in two different productions of The Nutcracker this year. She's taking acro classes at a local studio this year, and her class was given the opportunity to perform as Polichinelles in another dance studio's production of the show. Of course she jumped at the chance! But there was a cost associated with it, and I didn't love the idea of Sweet Pea just adding things to our family's already full plate when she didn't have any skin in the game. So I told her she'd have to split the entrance cost with me. She didn't hesitate for a second, and has been doing extra chores around the house to earn her share of the money.

Last weekend was the big performance. It was a beautiful show! We loved watching the dancers, but of course our favorites were the Polichinelles tumbling around. Grandma and Grandpa joined us, so Sweet Pea had plenty of fans in the audience!
