The Nutcracker

Tonight was Delaney and mine's third year going to The Nutcracker ballet. She has been so excited, anticipating it all week. As she goes to bed at night, we talk about something fun for her to dream about. All week she's been saying she'd dream about The Nutcracker.

Every year we've gone with our neighbors. I'm so glad they initially invited us because I don't know if I would have thought to do it on my own. It's become a really fun tradition. We had front row seats, which was really fun and so fascinating to the girls. The past two years we had first row balcony, assuming the girls would see well when there wasn't any thing in front of them. This year my neighbor decided to do something different when buying the tickets, and it was a whole new experience. The girls loved it!

Here's Delaney, all dressed up and ready to go.


She wanted to wear a red dress this year, but I didn't find one worth buying, so she had to settle for a red jacket.


And because no one can take a picture these days without Ms. Addie jumping in, here's a sisters shot.

Don't you love Addie's dad-dressed-me outfit??
