Today we went to the Sugar Plum Fairy Tea put on by the Collin County Ballet Theatre with our cousins Kim & Avery and our aunts Lynda & Nancy. It was a little girls dream! There were sparkly festive decorations, lots of sweets, tea sandwiches and hot chocolate. The dancers from the Nutcracker walked around for photo opportunities. Then all the little girls sat on stage and Herr Drosselmeyer read the story of the Nutcracker and then the dancers performed bits of their dances.
At first Kate wasn't sure what was going on and it took her a bit to warm up. She loved watching the ballerinas dance and when she got home she immediately put on her ballet gear and I turned on some Nutcracker music and she danced around.

"To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking." ~Agnes De Mille
