Nutcracker Weekend

We survived our first year of Nutcracker! It was a whirlwind week for us but looking back now that's it has come and gone, it was totally worth all the late nights, crazy driving back and forth, missed school, required volunteer hours and endless make-up applying/removing. The girls loved every minute of it and I was so proud of how they handled the whole thing. They never complained about the rehearsals or schedule and were sad when it was all over. They are already talking about what they want to be next year! I still contend they were the best/cutest Mother Ginger's children up there :)

Just so I remember what exactly this commitment required:

  • Saturday rehearsals from September through December
  • Tech Week
    • Tuesday: 5:30 - 7 pm
    • Wednesday: 7 - 10 pm
    • Thursday:  outreach performance: 10 - 12 pm, rehearsal 7 - 10 pm
    • Friday: outreach performance: 10 - 12 pm
    • Saturday: performance: 10 - 12 pm, 7 - 9 pm
    • Sunday: performance: 10 - 12 pm, 7 - 9 pm
Just a few of the million photos we took over the course of the weekend.


The make-up ladies couldn't get over how much they loved the make-up and would sit perfectly still the whole time


Ready to go!
