Emma, Nancy and I went to a Nutcracker Tea yesterday. It was the cutest thing! First we saw a performance from the Nutcracker by some amazingly talented dancers. Then we had our tea, complete with finger sandwiches and cream puffs shaped as swans (see picture below - Emma was just tickled by this!). Next was supposed to be a make up and hair styling session followed by a photo op with one of the ballerinas. For some reason Emma did not want to do this and had a brief, but intense, meltdown. On to the next thing - arts and crafts! Emma loves anything having to do with coloring, cutting, gluing and stringing so this was more to her liking and the meltdown was over. She made an adorable little Christmas tree ornament out of buttons (sorry Mormor!). Our last activity was a mini ballet lesson that Emma participated in with gusto. It was especially sweet when Emma ran the opposite way from everyone else in the circle - she didn't seem to notice but was smiling from ear to ear. The sparkle in her eyes is something to see! Thank you to Grandma for a wonderful morning!!
All dressed up for the big event.

Emma was a very enthusiastic ballet student!
