Magical Night at the Nutcracker

We were lucky to have Brianne's friend and Principal Ballerina, Sara, get us tickets for the "Nutcracker Ballet." Everyone decided to be brave and take the grand kids also. All but 2 year old Jakie dawned their festive apparel, and headed downtown to the "Wortham Theather."  I had stuffed my purse with treats, and purchased small nutcrackers for each of the children. 

What a magical night.  Sara was wonderful as usual, and the night could not have been better.  After the performance we took the children to meet some of the dancers, and get pictures and autographs.  Benson was so cute.  He would walk right up to the dancers and tell them his name, and give them his program to sign.  Sara took us back stage again,  where the children got to see behind the scenes.  Sara then presented the little girls with a pair of her signed ballet slippers.  Wow!
