The Nutcracker

Tonight was a big night for the kiddo .... her first Nutcracker! I surprised her ... she didn't know until we walked up to the theatre and she saw the Nutcrackers on display.

I decided to take her to a local production, rather than springing for the Boston Ballet where we'd be sitting at the tip top of the Opera House for a seriously nice chunk of change. Of course, having grown up in the Nutcracker I'm a touch on the picky side. I spent most of Wednesday night perusing the web, thumbing through photos of local (ish) productions and trying to figure out which one would pass. I finally settled on one. It was no Civic Ballet of San Luis Obispo Nutcracker, but it was okay.

Most importantly, Arden loved it. And she wants to take dance! So she can be onstage....as the prince. She did see that the prince was a boy though, and is willing to take the roll of an angel if necessary. She was mesmerized (though asked about 400 times when the fight scene was coming).

She thanked me over and over for her surprise.

A few pics!

Attempt at a nice photo

So sassy, this one


But she looked pretty cute, huh?
