Taking the Stage!

Molly's dancing school rotates a performance of The Nutcracker every other year. This year is a Nutcracker year, which means the girls get an extra recital in December in addition to the annual revue in May.

Molly's class danced to one of the most well-known tunes of the ballet, depicting the Sugar Plum Fairies.

As with her last recital, we took her to get her hair put into a proper ballet bun. Her friend, Lacey, had an appointment right after us, so the girls were excited to be there together.

All dolled up and ready to head to the recital!

After we got hair and make-up done, we headed to Morton Ranch High School to check in and get dressed. I got her ready and then left to take my seat in the audience, while she stayed behind stage with their class mom and her fellow ballerinas.

The girls did a great job on stage, and after the show, daddy got to bring roses up to her.

Congrats, Molly, on a beautiful performance! I love watching you dance!
