Nutcracker 2008

Christmas just wouldn't be the same without going to see Anna's annual performance in the Nutcracker.

The Jackson's tend to make this a family affair. Shawn once again helped out and was a party parent in the opening scene and Jon helped with props, sound, lighting, etc. Jill decided to take it easy this year, she helped hand out programs and on the night that we went she enjoyed sitting with me and Uncle Scotty in the audience.

Anna was quite the little dancer this year and had three parts in the show. She was a party boy in the opening of the show, then she played a very cute and mischievous mouse, and finally an angel in the second half of the performance.

Anna as a "party boy"....

and as an Angel.....(it's a little hard to tell, but that's Anna on the right)

Due to the lighting and special effects I couldn't get any good photos of Anna as a mouse. I will say she was by far the cutest mouse in the show!

And here are the Jackson's after the show.....
