My First Nutcracker Ballet

Toby, Norah, and I got to experience our first Nutcracker Ballet last night. (Apparently the philosopher grew up seeing the Nutcracker every year at, like, the National Ballet or something fancy like that. Not really, but he has seen it before.)

We all dressed up and took in the performance on opening night. They did a great job! Norah got a new holiday outfit, and Toby got a new pair of pants (not jeans or scooby pants!!) and we went out and painted the town red. Kind of. We were all tuckered out after the performance so we came home and went straight to bed, but it was really fun to go out and see the locals. Both Toby and Norah had classmates in the performance. It's definitely something we'd do again next year! And if anyone's out here visiting the weekend of the Nutcracker we'll be sure to take you along!
