The Nutcracker

We took the kids to see The Nutcracker for the first time and we decided to go all out and see it downtown performed by a professional ballet company. We also decided to cut some corners and sit in the last row of the balcony :) Here's the rundown of everyone's experience-Paige loved it all and didn't want to leave. Owen was done by intermission but powered through and fell asleep near the end not sure if that was real or he was pretending). It turns out Pat didn't even know the story of The Nutcracker so I gave him the rundown during intermission. He was kind of baffled about the second half and thought the whole thing could have ended a lot earlier. The look on his face when the Sugar Plum Fairy kept coming out for another dance was hilarious! I enjoyed it all and was just happy that the kids were so well-behaved!
