The Nutcracker Birthday Party
We had a wonderful Birthday Party for G's 5th year. It was a Nutcracker Party with candy, nutcrackers, snowflakes, sugarplum fairies, and mini mice!
The kids acted out the story as my daughter read.

I made little mice for the Mouse King and mice. They were made with choc covered cherries –stems for tails, choc. Kisses and sliced almonds for ears! They were difficult to get to stick together but they survived.

We shared reflections of G then we all prayed. It was lovely.
The end of the show!
