Last night we were blessed to attend a showing of the Nutcracker by the Academy of Fine Arts School in which Alayna attends. This was quite a performance with around 200 kids ranging in age from newborn to probably 6 or 7. The performance was with both of the pre-schools and was held at Jessie Hall on the MU Campus. Believe it or not, it was just right for this large of a performance. Of course, this opportunity to see Alayna perform cost us about $125 total - again the school had it's hand out and the $200/weekly fee wasn't enough. Anyway, the performance was great and we had a nice time. Alayna was in the performance twice which was nice. She had a lot of fun and smiled a lot which made for some really great pictures. Kids can be so unpredictable and with 200 of them, that was the case. One kid stood on stage and said very loudly to the dark auditorium "Hi Mommy" and another girl in one of the segment just screamed.
After this tiring performance, the entire school got to enjoy PJ day today. Alayna is still in her PJ's and doesn't want to change. When Kristi pulled up at school today she went to help Alayna out of the car and Alayna told her "Mom, lets just go back home. I am tired!" But, at 3 pm today, she had her holiday party with her class and wanted to stay.
