A bit of sweetness for Tuesday

I have no real reason for posting this except these pictures make me smile. That's my little girl, who got the honor of bringing the ballet teacher roses in the finale of the Nutcracker. 

It's a good thing there were pictures, because it was a total surprise for me, and once she came on stage I couldn't see much of anything (Mom tears, you know). I usually have to watch her onstage through a veil of watery love-tears...quite sappy, but I just can't help it. I rely heavily on video and photos to actually see the dancing parts.
