This is a picture of my daughter, Jennifer in the party girl dress she wore in her first performance of the Nutcracker. She was 9 years old and it was Sandy Arts Guilds first year performing the entire full length ballet of the Nutcracker. The doll she is holding is the doll giving her at her 8th birthday party at the Lion House. She was so excited about dancing in the ballet, even though it meant wearing sponge rollers in her hair all day at elementary school! Oh, the price we pay for fame.
Jennifer was a elegant, graceful dancer and I never tired of watching her dance. She danced many different rolls in the Nutcracker every year until her Junior year of High School, when she traded her toe shoes for a membership in the modern dance company at HHS.
Way to be, princess! Thanks for the memories Beth and Shannon. I tag Jen, Jaime, Sherine, and Tiffany
