Lauryn made her ballet debut this year as a Gingerbread in the Nutcracker for her dance studio. Every year, the ballet troupe from her studio puts on the Nutcracker in a production that rivals any professional production. There were tons of rehearsals - two hours every Saturday starting the first weekend in October - and a lot practice at home, too. She was very dedicated to perfecting her performance.
Because we were all so excited, she had an entire row of fans:
Granny and Lauryn
Nana, Grandad, and Lauryn
Sophia and Lauryn
Sophia's dad, Mathias, was quite the trouper, too. He brought Sophia to the ballet because her mom was sick. He sat through the entire performance and was happy to be there watching and supporting Lauryn. We are so lucky that Lauryn's friends have such wonderful parents! Their friendship is priceless!
Aunt Jana and Lauryn
Another one of those truly special friends. Jana has been to every performance that Lauryn has had! She comes to every recital and also this very special night! The weekend after the Nutcracker, Aunt Jana took Lauryn and me to see the Houston Ballet perform the Nutcracker as her birthday gift to Lauryn. We had such a great time at the Ballet!
