Taking the Show in the Road

Tonight, we did something very special. Miss Maria took Jordi's ballet class to two local retirement homes where she gave the little girls the chance to perform a few of their Christmas songs for the folks there.

The idea for their costumes came from the main number, a song called "Mrs. Santa Claus." It's just an over-sized red sweatshirt with some lace trim & buttons, but look how cute it turned out! And how about those glasses??! (Miss Maria was nice enough to let Caroline wear a pair, too!)

Here's the whole crew just before the first performance. That's Miss Maria (in white) coaching her charges before their first show. Note all the proud mums (& their cameras!) in the background!

Here's Jordi in action! (I think this was during the "who wouldn't go?" line from Up on the Rooftop!)

I took this picture just before the girls went on for their second show. Isn't she a cute little Mrs. Santa - such a nice smile, and right next to the Christmas tree, too!
