{nutcracker}

Last weekend Ashley decided that she wanted to try-out for the Nutcracker again. She had done it last year and was a teeny tiny mouse. She loved being part of a professional ballet. She was able to watch all the ballerinas at practice. She actually got to be on stage with them and see all that goes into putting on a show. So this year when we got the audition letter, I was back and forth on doing it again. But Ashley really wanted to do it again so she didn't have to twist my arm too much to get me to let her do it. This year she is excited to be a cook. The last few years we have gone to see Chris' cousin, and last year Ashley, in the production. I guess this is going to be a Christmas tradition for awhile, because something tells me this tradition is not going to end anytime soon.
