Nutcracker Tea Party

This past weekend Ava and I attended a Nutcracker Tea Party. Ava fell in love with the Nutcracker through a children's movie version. I was excited to find this tea party since Ava is a little young to sit through a whole Nutcracker performance. It was a great introduction to the Nutcracker in a format little girls love, a tea party.
Ava enjoyed the performance with the exception of the fight between the prince and the Mouse King. (The Mouse King entered the stage by crawling through the crowd past Ava's chair which scared her) She asked to pray for the Mouse King that night at bedtime.:) Here are a few pictures from our tea.

Ava told me about the tea party and the mean mice yesterday! I'd actually just read about it on your blog so I knew what she was talking about! She said you told her it was just pretend and seemed fine about it! :-)

This looks really fun... is Ava interested in Ballet now?
