NUTCRACKER MEMORIES.....


Melissa is the soloist up front...


This will be the first time in 17 years that I have not gone and seen Melissa perform in either BALLET WEST NUTCRACKER or NEVADA BALLET THEATRE NUTCRACKER. I thought I was doing okay until I was shopping somewhere the other day and they had that damn nutcracker music going. I could feel tears starting ... and had to leave my cart in the middle of the aisle and head to my car. Here are some photos of NUTCRACKER PASTS....

Oh Mommy! We all missed seeing Lulu in the nutcracker this year. She was so beautiful as the Snow Queen. Hang in there, Jesse can come down later in some tights and perform for you!!! ~Heather

It is sad to not see Lulu in the nutcracker this year. Thanks to Lu I learned to really love the Ballet. Plus it ment a girls trip to Vegas which was always a ton of fun.

My Dearest Mother,

I am so sorry that for your sadness at while shopping. It has also been somewhat of a struggle for me too. I have decided that attending NBT's Nutcracker would be a hard thing at this time. Too many memories...too soon.

But don't be sad! With as busy as I may be, I am loving my life as a full-time student and part-time (in the works) funeral director. Life is good mamma. I love you and look forward to seeing you soon!

I sat next to Mikayla at the Ballet West Nutcracker performance fieldtrip yesterday. We talked about Melissa performing there. I wish I had the chance to seen her perform. Her ballerina pictures are stunning!
