Dancing the Nutcracker Ballet











Today Chlo had her first dance recital with her new dance group. She did such a great job! She was so excited she was going to be part of the Nutcracker Ballet. She's loved that story for a while now which made this experience for her really special. She was able to be what they called a "party girl". Her costume was beautiful and she looked amazing! She is truly a talented girl! After her performance we gave her a ballerina tree ornament. It was cute watching Grandpa Jackman watch her open it! It was fun to have mom and dad Jackman there to watch Chlo perform! Carlee of coarse couldn't be left out so she stood on her chair and danced with all the groups. It was so funny! I was honestly laughing to tears. I'm sure she was very distracting to others behind us, I just didn't have the heart to tell her to sit down. This morning we had our Ward Christmas party brunch. It was SO SO good! They had Santa come but both girls started crying saying they didn't want to see Santa - so we left... Bummer! Maybe next year :) Tonight Dave and I have his work company party. Huh, so go the holidays! Hope you're all having a great weekend!

She looks so cute. Glad that she loved it, we weren't able to come either but we will be there tomorrow night!

Cute pictures. I can not believe that Chlo is old enough to be in a dancing group. She looks like she enjoyed every moment of it.
