Our Sugar Plum Fairy

I am really liking the new school that the girls go to. They actually did something for the holidays; whereas Maggie's old school never did a thing. Granted, it got cancelled due to the snow, but they still planned a "Nutcracker" Production for the holidays. Maggie tried out for the Sugar Plum Fairy dancer and got it, along with two other girls. They held practices once a week after school for about 3-4 weeks. Maggie was really bummed when they cancelled it, but I figured that they would try to do it after Christmas--which they did. They put it on last Friday night (9th). The 3rd and 4th graders were the ones involved and it was really well done. They had great costumes (thanks to Terri and Rose, among others), a fun choir and the actors did a great job remembering their lines. The turn out was amazing. It's great to see the community supporting an event like this. There were quite a few kids from our ward that were involved, also and they all did a great job! We are so proud of Maggie for auditioning for the part and showing her talents. I know it's scary up there on stage, but she did a great job and I think she had a pretty good time.



Here's a picture of her in her costume and stage make-up. I'm still working on a video of the dance.
