My oldest daughter played Princess Nadia.  She opens the box which releases evil and kills Queen Adalia, her mother.  The box beckons to her and she takes it and runs away.

Sister is very good at playing a naughty girl.  It's a bit disturbing.  

The ballet had canaries, butterflies, and villagers.

I made the princess bodices and tutus.  The M.O.B. (Mothers Of Ballerinas) helped quite a bit with the decorations.

I made this one as well.  

We are all still recovering from the spring performance.  The girls should've been tired except they've been playing "ballet school" since yesterday.  To Nutcracker music of all things.  I guess they're ready to move on to the next thing.  I have a house to clean for the summer.  A very late spring cleaning.
