I have been trying to take Arianna to the Ballet West production of The Nutcracker for the last three years and something has always gotten in the way so Tom took the initiative this year and bought the tickets for us. I managed to keep it secret from Anna until we got to Capital Theatre and even then, she was not certain that we were actually going to see the ballet. She was mesmerized from the very first moment. It was such an amazing thing to share and experience with her, it was like seeing it for the first time all over again. I am the luckiest woman in the world as I get to help Tom raise these kids and see the world through them.
During the intermission all of the children that had been in the first half of the show were walking around the lobby taking pictures and talking with anyone who was interested. Anna thought they all looked so pretty and tiny, until she realized they were taller than she is, so we decided to take her picture with the nutcracker instead. Our beautiful girl is just never going to be very tall.
I am so glad that Arianna really loved the ballet, I love it and am so happy that it is something we will be able to share. We are going to make it an annual tradition for the two of us to get all dressed up and have a girls night with the Nutcracker.
Our thanks to Clara and her Nutcracker Prince for the wonderful show and evening without the boys.
