Ballet Love

Here's another LO featuring Nikki Sivils' Sugar Cookie collection. This is Bianca at her ballet Christmas program last December. They featured dances from The Nutcracker and she's supposed to be doing a soldier dance. She was sooooo adorable, and I'm not just saying that because I'm her mother:)
