Nutcracker


An exciting time for Brooke - she was asked to be a BAFFOON in this year's Nutcracker at the Amarillo Lonestar Ballet. She and another little friend named Breanna are paired up to do back handsprings and jump around, well like cute little Baffoons. There are 8 girls total and Brooke is the youngest Baffoon to play the part. We know a few ballerinas that are in the Ballet and are just amazing to watch them all. I believe there are over 170 participants that put on this ballet and I am sure I'll get to know them all too well with about 10 rehearsals/performances between now and opening night! Opening Night is Friday Dec. 12th. I am real excited that Brooke will be out of School on the 11th & 12th as they will perform for the area schools at the Civic Center both mornings. I know she is excited to do this in front of some of her cousins and friends! I cannot say enough about how blessed we feel with all of Brooke's accomplishments this year....at the young age of 6! My Mom has 3rd row tickets for Opening Night and will be a very special day for all of us because my Mom has NEVER seen the Nutcracker before. She is in for a BIG TREAT!
