Sweating Bullets Part 2

I do not perform well under pressure. Good thing my girls do not take after me. Look at these sweet girls celebrating with ice cream! Is there any other way?

As you can see, these pictures are not in the right order- lol. The Katie twins tried out for the Nutcracker last week. Katie's Mom and I applied their make-up, styled their hair (my sweet friend had to do Katie's hair again since I was such a nervous wreck!) and got them there on time.

Their audition was 45 minutes long!

Look at those sweet faces.:) Not a bit nervous and ready for this new adventure!

It helps having a friend go with you.:) ( That goes for Moms, too!)

A little bit of warming up...


The wonderful news is they were both cast in the Nutcracker! Yippee!

  6. Congratulations Katie. You look adorable. We are so pleased you are going to be in The Nutcracker.
    Lori, this brings back so many memories for me of when Jessica did ballet and tap.
    Look forward to seeing her in the show.
    Hope you are having a lovely Sunday.

  15. Woohoo for katie and her friend! I love seeing the Nutcracker. I thought about taking Lexi for auditions but decided I will wait till next year. This is her first year of dance and has only had one class which was last week...still need to blog on that.

    Can't wait to see pics of her performance later on in the year!
