Nutcracker in a Nutshell




On Saturday afternoon I took Grace to the Eismann in Richardson to see The Nutcracker in a Nutshell ballet. It is a shortened version of the ballet just for small kids. Afterwards, they have a Sugar Plum party where you get to have cookies and juice with the ballet company. Grace and I have been reading the Nutcracker book for a while so that she would understand the ballet. She really liked it and she got to see really well since we sat front and center. When we went to the Sugar Plum party she saw lots of little girls getting autographs from the characters. She asked me what they were doing and when I explained she was determined to get lots of autographs. She did just that. Her favorite person in the story is Clara so she was really excited when she got to have her picture taken with both Clara's. The Clara on the left was in the ballet that we saw and the Clara on the right was in the next show.
