2nd Grade Does "The Nutcracker"

Today was the long-awaited performance of "The Nutcracker" in Madeleine's music class.  She has only been talking about this NON-STOP for the past month, so no big deal.  Auntie Shannon and I attended and thoroughly enjoyed the show!

Some highlights caught on video:


Here, Madeleine the Mouse battles her bestie, Lousy, a tin soldier:






Madeleine sure did commit to this role, right down to the facial expressions.  Way to act the part in full!



Next, Madeleine got to dance as the Sugarplum Fairy.  As she told me, "I get to make up my OWN dance!"  It's classic Madeleine-style, all right:





And next she was a Russian Dancer:





Then a Chinese dancer:





No matter what role she played, Madeleine sure gave it her all!  Hooray for a thoroughly enthusiastic performance!
