The time finally came to go to the Nutcracker ballet! We read the book 10,000 times (with the Clara stickers I made), watched the Barbie movie over and over and over and Addi even got a tiny little Nutcracker in her Advent calendar the day before. She was vibrating with excitement!
Such a fun Mommy-Addi date.
Of course our two besties came too...
Liz and I promised to take them for cupcakes before the show. Well when we pulled up at the cupcake shop, we realized it was closed on Sunday. When in doubt, head to Starbucks, right?
The girls when right to the pastry counter and picked out pumpkin scones! As Liz said, we're fancy like that.
She was SOOOOO excited!!
Addi, our mommies said to be quiet...
After we left Starbucks and got parked, we walked to the ballerina statue on campus so the girls to could make wishes and throw their pennies in the water.
Look, I see me!
Plop went the penny...
I love their reflections.
We're getting closer...
On the porch of Rupel Jones Theater so excited to go in...
Addi, stand like a flamingo like in dance class!
Okay! Like this?
Funny side note...I told Addi that when you're in dance and stand like a flamingo it's called Passe. She quickly told me that Passe is French for over. I paused and she quickly said, like in my Purplalicious book mom. Isn't it funny what they pick up and learn?
After the Passe rehearsal, came jumps!
Once we got inside we got all settled in our seats. I love it that their toes barely reached the edge of their seats.
They started getting restless...
So we pulled out the phones for them to play with. Perfect!
Show time!!
When we were leaving Clara and two snowflake princesses were in the lobby and the girls got their pictures taken with their new favorite celebrities. They were in heaven!!
What a magical day! This is definitely something we will be doing for many Christmases to come!!
