Alli was chosen to be an extra in the Nutcracker with the Waco Symphony on December 7. She was a Snow Drop in Act I and had a great time. We didn't get any pictures of her in costume because they are the property of the ballet company. You show up with hair and makeup done, put on your costume right before you go out on stage and then take it off after your portion of the performance is over, and they won't let you take pictures during the performance due to the professional performers' union rules and all that complicated stuff, in addition to the fact it's just hard for the dancers to see when there are flashes going off in their eyes. Anyway, they took a professional picture of her in her costume the night before at dress rehearsal so we're hoping those will turn out okay. We won't know until after the first of the year. Except for a few family pictures, these are the only pictures I got to take.
