The Nutcracker Ballet

Alissa was so excited on performance day! Her first time on stage!! Mommy got to put big girl makeup on her and everything!! Here is mommy putting on the foundation - Then the finished product!! One girl ready for the stage!
Here is Alissa backstage all dressed in her costume and ready to hit the stage.
And a picture with all of the baby soldiers! :)

The performance was wonderful and the kids all did great. Alissa was a champ because it was a LONG day. We showed up at the theatre at 1pm for dress rehearsal and didn't leave there until 9pm after the show. I was so proud of my little Alissa. She was so confident and remembered all of her moves. She was beaming at the end of the show when she got flowers from family...she was a real star.
