Nutcracker Tea Party

There is a neat organization in Yerington called 'Through the Eyes of a Child.' Last Spring they put on an amazing tea party for a Cinderella ballet that was coming to town. When we heard that they were going to do the Nutcracker tea and ballet, we jumped on it. The organization does a seriously unbelievable job on these teas. I decided that The Nutcracker was boyish enough for Liam to go, and even though he was the only boy, he thought nothing of it. He just had so much fun dancing with the ballerinas and ate up the attention he got from all the little girls as the only boy. Santa Claus came and Liam was very first in line. He told him that he'd like "Rumbling Gold Mine" and "Flynn the Fire Engine." (Thomas things). Santa then gave every child a Nutcracker ornament. The decorations and food were just unbelievable. It was hard to believe we were in Yerington. What a fun and special day!





Maddy Klaich joined us for the fun! She has a bit of a crush on Liam. :) She had a lot of fun dancing with him.


I don't think the pictures really capture how beautiful this all was. It was a dance studio transformed into a winter wonderland!






Liam practically guzzled his sparkling cider from his tea cup- very boy of him. ;) The girls drank so politely with their pinkies up and this is how he drank. lol.










Each table had their own served. Ardy Schact (an old family friend) was ours. It was fun having someone we knew be our server. They are all volunteers to make it possible. Pretty amazing.


Dancing like crazy!




They even had one of the dancers from the ballet in a couple of weeks come and sing Christmas songs live. It was amazing. He was very talented.
