Nutcracker

A holiday tradition for the girls and I include seeing the nutcracker ballet. This year we got the chance to go see the Nevada Ballet Company preformance at the Paris Casino. We have seen a few different variations in the ballet, but in this preformance we saw a few things that we had never seen before. For instance, the nutcracker that Clara received at the party wasn't a doll - but a "life size doll". In the 2nd act where they are viewing the different dances in the sugarland, there were little bakers with the angels at the gate making a big cake. They had children dressed up like each of the different dances (arabian dance, russian dance, spanish dancers, etc). And the part where the big momma has the little sugarplums dancing out of her skirt instead had little sailors on a boat - wierd. But the dancing was great to watch and it was still a fun afternoon together.
