The Nutcracker

We've really missed having the girls perform in The Nutcracker this year.  As crazy as it made our Christmas season last year, it was a great memory.  Their ballet school doesn't do a Nutcracker, but it's a whole 6 blocks away takes about 6 minutes to get there and back.  It's a far cry from the 35-40 minutes we traveled to and from dance in San Diego County.  There are definitely trade-offs.

 We were trying to decide which Nutcracker to attend this year.  There are a few at the Covey Center in Provo and the one at Capitol Theater in Salt Lake.  When we started talking about going, Isaac wouldn't stop asking about it.  For about a week, everyday he would say, "We going to Nutcracker today Mom?"   Well our wish to attend the Nutcracker came, but in an unexpected way.  Mom called me one Thursday afternoon to tell me that her sister Mary had extra tickets to the Nutcracker at Capitol Theater in Salt Lake.  We LOVED it!  We had to spell out where we were going to Isaac couldn't tell.  We knew he would be devastated to find out we were going without him. Such a fun memory and a tradition we hope to keep.
