On December 6th and 7th, Alivia had her first role in a major ballet, The Nutcracker! It all started with an audition with over 25 girls. It was a great feeling for her to be selected because she was one of the youngest girls auditioning. (I have to admit, after watching her I knew she was in. She did so well I was blown away.) She definetely put in the practice time. Each and every Saturday and a lot of Sundays for 6 weeks to get prepared for the big day. It was all worth it! When those little mice hit the stage they didn't miss a beat. What a great performance. The whole family is very proud of our little gray mouse!
