What an exciting afternoon! Gran, DMama, and I were honored to attend the Sugar Plum Fairy Tea with Abby. The Sugar Plum Fairy Tea is a special event held the Sunday prior to Nutcracker as a fundraiser for Abilene Ballet Theatre.
All of the little girls in attendance donned their finest Christmas attire in anticipation of meeting Clara, The Sugar Plum Fairy, and The Snow Queen.
Entertainment for the afternoon consisted of a silent auction including items such as Cupcakes with Clara, a fashion show of Abilene Ballet Theatre fairy tale costumes, an excerpt from the Nutcracker performance, and a sampling of delectable treats and sweets.
The girls were also given the opportunity to meet and greet some of the dancers. While Abby enjoyed meeting Clara and the others, her favorite (and best picture obtained all day) was her cousin, Mary Elizabeth Walker. Mary Elizabeth was modeling a costume from Sleeping Beauty and will be dancing the role of the peacock in the Nutcracker next weekend.
This evening, Abby was still modeling her tiarra and showing off the autographs she received. It was almost as good as Disney World...
