The Nutcracker

I have always loved the Ballet. I would have loved

to have been a ballerina, except I never took ballet.

I have seen the Ballet The Nutcracker many times.

I have loved it every time,

it is so graceful,

elegant,

beautiful

romantic.

Last year we took the girls to see the Aspen Ballet

perform The Nutcracker, and it was wonderful!!

This year I heard the Russian Ballet was coming near us to perform

The Nutcracker and I knew I HAD to see it!!

I know it was only a traveling group that performed in

only a few locations, but it was still the Russian Ballet.

The costumes were amazing,

the dancing was flawless,

the music was perfect,

the theater was incredible!!

I have one of the most amazing husbands who not only comes with us but enjoys it as well.

I can only hope our girls find a man like their father to marry who will encourage them, believe in them, love them and support them.

First we went out to dinner....

Then we waited to enter the theater in

the freezing weather,
then we waited for the ballet to start....

still waiting....

So worth the wait!!!
