Nutcracker

Take a newly 5 year old girl, add some friends, some costumes and Tchaikovsky, and make a (very) fun dance-along Nutcracker birthday party:

All of the Claras dancing with their Nutcracker dolls:


Then the Nutcracker comes to life and there is a battle between the soldiers and the mice:


Clara defeats the mouse king and the Nutcracker Prince takes her through the snow ...


... to the land of sweets. There is Chinese Tea (no pictures), Russian Candy:


and Spanish Chocolate:


All of the little dancers jump out from under Mother Ginger's giant skirt and dance:

The Sugar Plum Fairy(s):

Add presents and cupcakes ....



... and it's a very fun 5th Birthday for our dear Eliza!
