Nutcracker Prince

The first graders at Carter's school have the amazing opportunity to perform in their school version of The Nutcracker.  This was their 19th year performing and it is definitely a cherished tradition.  The gym was packed!  There wasn't an empty seat and several people were standing on the sides of the aisles.  I had remembered how "big" of an event this was after learning my lesson last year with Alex.  I showed up an hour early and had to settle on row five.  Gees!!!!!  But it was worth it!

Carter was The Nutcracker Prince and he was fantastic!!!!!!!!!  

He came home a few weeks ago very excited to have been chosen as the Nutcracker Prince.   Each year the Nutcracker Prince gets to add his name to the inside of the hat. I think it's safe to say this is hat #2 as there were not 19 signatures on this particular hat.

"Nutcracker, Nutcracker, where are you?"

  "I'm right here Clara!!!!"

"How do we get there?" 

 "Take My Hand!"

"Clara, Can I have this Dance?"

"Thank You!  Thank You!"

Carter had many more speaking parts which I did record, 

but I am only posting a few.

I could just eat his cherry cheeks!!!!!!

Carter came home super excited and was definitely bit by the acting bug.  He is wanting to be in another play so I guess we will start looking after the Holidays.
