Ballerina dreams.

On Saturday my mom and I took the Princess to her first full length ballet in the big State Theater. It was a production by the Youth Ballet theater with well known stars in the lead roles. Saturday morning was a special dress -up show with a little party during the first interval. She was so absorbed in the show and told me that she wants to be a ballerina just like the lilac faerie some day. And as you all know, I tell it better in pictures:


After the show they had the chance to meet the lead dancers. Here the Princess is waiting for Mr Hannah to sign her program.
Sharing a love for theater and knowing she can actually watch a whole show makes my Monday.

  4. I like that tiara of hers. I would've thought it was brand new if you haven't mentioned that it is old costume tiaras.
