Nutcracker...Again

Last weekend was Anna's second debut in the "Children's Nutcracker." This year she was upgraded from "mouse" to "doll." Still very cute, but I must say that the mice once again stole the show...especially when in the middle of their performance, one little mouse made her way to the front of the stage and very calmly, and cheerfully called out, "Mom? Mom? Hey...Mom?"

My little dolly was the star of the night for me. She was very excited that Daddy brought her pink roses this year, and Mommy gave her a present...ballet slippers Christmas tree ornament, and a teeny-tiny pink doll for our sweet Anna-doll.
