Dreams DO come true . . .





I don't want people who want to dance, I want people who have to dance.

Nutcracker, 2011



Opening night!
Outside the Benedum's stage door entrance


With Daddy and Mommy after the big show!


Adrienne danced in ten performances . . .
Here she is with Gramma B and Pappa, after one of them.


And with Gramma and Grampa K, after another.


Some weekends were especially busy, so we
stayed in a hotel  . . . here Adrienne is ready to head
to a show, while Gramma and Grampa K babysit Anna Kathryn.


 Adrienne's cousins attended a performance!

Other family and friends attended as well,
including Adrienne's classmates and teacher!
Our sweet friend, Grace, came to a show!
