The Nutcracker Suite





Mimi dances at Geiger Ballet school. Every year the ballet company puts on a production of the Nutcracker. This year I took Mimi and Annabel.
Every year when we go, Mimi and Annabel shop for a little trinket from the performance. The little Nutcracker shop is a fund raiser for the ballet company.
Last year they picked out delicate little bracelets, the year before, tiny little tiaras. This year they chose the most garish nutcracker. He resembles Ziegfreid and Roy or perhaps Neil Diamond at Christmas time.

I am so glad that the money is going to a worthy cause.

Mimi was thrilled to see her teacher and fellow classmates up on the stage.
Next year, Mimi will be eligible to audition. Mimi is totally against this, she says she is afraid of performing in front of millions of people.

Being the stage mother that I am, I am hoping these thoughts will change.
