As far as this century, it has been fun to observe the growth of the dancers at the Toledo Ballet. The little soldiers and ginger (pulcinellas then) have grown up to Company girls. Each year, I watch new Clara's friends (some of whom I had in class when they were little) now dancing on pointe. Every Nutcracker that rolls around I wonder, "Am I getting too old looking to have this little guy as a son?" But somehow I continue to land a new, younger, husband each year as a party mom. Since my first Toledo Ballet Nutcracker in 2007, I have been impressed with our costumes - especially the ones that make angels float on air. My most memorable year has to be 2008, the year that both my girls were in it and the year that included the Make a Wish girl following the sleigh.
A big shout of THANKS to all the volunteers behind the scene for all they contribute to making our production so beautiful! And a thanks to the other Party Moms for keeping our party so FUN! General Thanks to all that make The Nutcracker what it is.
