Backstage at The Nutcracker!

Here we are all dolled up and ready for a night on the town!
One of the Principals in the Houston Ballet Company, Sara Webb (who is amazingly graceful and looks like the ballerina on a music box), is in Mom's church ward. She was also Skye's Young Women leader when we lived with mom. Anywho...she met us after the show and took us backstage for an up and close look at the props and the stage! The girls were totally delighted. Sara even gave Michaela a pair of her worn ballet slippers!
Here's Michaela in the Snow Queen's sleigh...
Michaela, Sara, and Skye... Sara played the Sugar Plum Fairy last night.
Michaela also scored a few of the dancer's autographs. Here she is with First Soloist, Kelly Myernick...
Skye in the throne where Clara watched the Sugar Plum Fairy and her entertainers dance...
Skye on stage. If I knew how to work my camera I probably wouldn't get pictures like this. But it's a cool shot anyway despite the shakiness.The girls and I with a very cool statue downtown...
This night was the greatest way to kick off the Christmas season!
