The Nutcracker Ballet is my absolute favorite thing to see at Christmastime. It all started about 10 years ago when Brian took me on a date to see the Nutcracker and then to California Dreaming for Dinner. That has always been the date with my hubby that I most look forward to each year, but this year, we decided to bring the kids with us. We just thought they would both love it and they definitely did! When I asked them what their favorite parts were, Allie said she liked the mice, ballerinas, and the Nutcracker prince and Mason liked "everything"- especially when Santa came down the chimney at the end! We got to meet the dancers afterwards and get their autographs.....such a great experience!!! Oh, and we even took the kids to California Dreaming for dinner....definitely a wonderful night!
