Nutcracker Costumes

November 6, 2010 - MaKayla was eligable to try out for the Nutcracker this year. To be eligable the student has to have been enrolled for the entire calendar year and can only miss a certain number of classes. Every student who tries out gets a part. For the little ones it mostly goes by height and who can fit into which costumes. She has been practicing every Saturday since September but today is the first day the students get to see and wear thier costumes. It was picture day! The parents are not allowed to go back in the dressing room or in the photo studio. I grabbed her for a few photos as they were taking the students back to take them out of their costumes.
MaKayla has two parts in the Nutcraker. She is a "candy". She wasn't too happy with her green and white peppermint stick costume. She wanted to be a gum drop or a hershey kiss.
MaKayla has a second part as a "pinky baby mouse". She loves this costume!
I tried to take a picture through the window. It is not the best but it gives you an idea. She is in the front row in the middle.
My little "pinky mouse"
How cute! I will post the professional photos when they come in. I don't expect them to be here before Christmas though.
