Mikayla continued to take ballet class through the rest of the year with her cousin Kambria and got the opportunity to participate in the Nutcracker. I don't think she quite understood the whole scope of what she was a part of, but she was sure excited for her 5 minutes of fame on stage.
She went on stage first as a baby mouse.
There was a lot of waiting backstage but the girls kept busy with coloring and playing together.
On stage the baby mice were partnered with a soldier.
Mikayla was partnered with her neighborhood friend Emma.
After their performance as baby mice, the girls had to quickly wipe off their make-up and get ready for their next part.
Getting her make-up done was always one of the highlights
Heart lips
Beautiful baby angels
Mikayla did exactly what I asked her to do during her few minutes on stage--she smiled and looked out at the audience as she went across the stage. She even gave a little wave as she was exiting.
There was lots of family that came to watch those 2 girls perform.
Mikayla was super excited when we surprised her with flowers after the show was done and proudly got to display them in her room.
We enjoyed watching Mikayla and glad she got the opportunity to participate in the Nutcracker!
