Coppelia is Finally Over!!




Opening night

After makeup

Both girls decided to try out for the spring ballet this year.  The ballet Coppelia is a cute story and they both had a good time.  What they didn't know going into it, was how many practices there was going to be.  Janae wanted to try out for Nutcracker last fall, but I wouldn't let her.  I am not ready to turn my holiday season into one long practice and/or performance, sorry.


They have both had ballet class once a week, at different times of course, since January.  In addition to that, they have had practice at least once a week for Coppelia.  The last two weeks have been a big, long practice.  Last week especially was crazy with dress rehearsals and performances for Coppelia and Tavaci.  They actually missed one performance of Coppelia because of their Tavaci concert.  I am relieved that last week is over, but they are probably even happier!!. 


We are now done with almost all extra ciricular activities for the school year.  The laziness of summer can't get here soon enough!

How fun! They do look darling, and very grown up with all the makeup on. So are you going to brave Nutcracker this year? It sounds like such a nightmare! I can't believe little Addyson is even in ballet. Where does time go?

First, you need a new post, you're falling behind :) But I wanted to say thanks for the cute birthday gift for Izzy. She LOVES the desk! It's the perfect size for her, and I plan on taking it on our upcoming vacation. Tell Addyson and Janae thanks, and she also loved the Elmo card. She knew it was Elmo, so your card was successful! Thanks!
