Dining in the Land of the Sweets

Clara is having a good time dining with the Nutcracker Prince sitting next to her and his Royal Guards at the ends of the table in the fabled Land of the Sweets. Razortooth is having quite a discussion with the prince and Clara while Rusty starts eating away at that cake.

They are eating on a table made of Peppermint Bark with candy cane legs. The chairs are made of blueberry candy sticks, the snow is powder sugar, the clouds are made of cotton candy, there are lollypops for trees, a hot fudge sundae for a mountain and scattered jellybeans and other candy lying about like rocks and they're all eating a bunch of sugary sweets and having a good time together! 8D

Clara and the Dancing Bear

This shows Clara from the Nutcracker having a good time with the dancing bear that her Uncle Drosselmeyer gave her a teddy bear that came to life and danced for her!

Of course that's my bear Rusty playing the part of the dancing bear and I dressed him up better than how the bear is usually shown as looking a bit too much like a clown for my taste so I put him in a Russian guard uniform. 8D
