Ballet anyone?


Last week we were blessed with some free tickets to the Nutcracker ballet. I have taken Goose to the ballet before this one but it was a first for Boo. The girls were so excited and had watched Barbie's version of the Nutcracker earlier that day (I bet some of you didn't know Barbie is a moviestar). It was a packed house so our seats weren't the best but that doesn't matter to 4 & 6 year old girls. Goose chose to stand in the aisle for the entire performance so she could see better and Boo sat on my lap, oooing and ahhing over the costumes and especially the "Sugar Plum Princess". (After all, she wore her own ballerina skirt that has lights and music) It didn't phase her at all that we could only see from their knees up (second row seats). The girls spent the intermission dancing in the aisle and dreaming of their future fame as ballerinas. For those of you wondering, the men folk opted to go to the high school basketball game. :)
