Confession time!
I've never actually seen the true Nutcracker ballet. I've never read the story. I've never had a real interest in it at all, which is odd because, for a short time, I was obsessed with ballet, though I'd never actually seen one or been a dancer. But then one year, my daughter's dance school did a whole recital based on The Nutcracker.
My daughter was super excited about the chance to be part of the Mouse Army, however, she missed class the day parts were assigned, and/or because she was taller (it was too many years ago to remember exactly), she ended up as one of the soldiers. She wasn't happy about this, and we had to hear about it anytime the dance was discussed. I think, in some ways, she is still bitter about it today.
When I saw the kit: A Nutcracker Christmas, I thought back to this dance recital and went about making this page. I had to search actual photo albums for the photos as this took place before digital started taking over my life. It was fun to go back and look at these pictures and remember this time.
