The Nutcracker

With Lindsay and Lauren's birthday so close to Christmas, we asked them if they wanted to go to the Nutcracker instead of birthday presents. They were very excited about this since they get presents in 10 days anyways for christmas. So in October, we booked the tickets for Dec. 13 (2 days before their birthday) and waited with anticipation. Lindsay and Lauren wanted to go to Applebees for dinner. They were so excited to just go by themselves. They are getting so big.
Because prices are so expensive, we got the nose bleed section, but it was still ok. This is a picture with the stage and curtain in the background.


Here the girls and Paul are as we anticipate the show starting.


This was the only picture of the Nutcracker advertisement we could find. It was outside the building up high. The girls had to be hoisted to this platform blow the advertisement. But the cool thing was that we were right be the door all the ballerina's were exiting the building from. So in the end, we got to see them up close, just not in costume. I thought that was cool. I even got to congratulate the snow queen. They were very nice. Overall, I think I liked it more than any of us, but the girls had a great evening. It was so fun to take them on an outing like this.

Oh, that sounds marvelous! I love ballet, but have never attended a live performance of the Nutcracker. Maybe next year as a super-cool date with Jon (after he gets a job, of course.) I'm glad you guys had such a good time. The girls look delighted.
