I hope you are all having a lovely weekend! Last night I took my sister to see the Nutcracker for her first time ever! She's in her twenties and had never seen it... Being dancers (well we used to be), and since schools will often go see it for a field trip, you'd think she would have seen it at least once before, nope. So for part of her Christmas present- I took her to see it.
*NOTE* I forgot my camera... my iPhone had to do.
We first showed up at the wrong theater (doh!), but luckily the correct theater was a short walk away.
It was beautiful and the dancing was superb.
Needless to say- she loved it! We had a great time and enjoyed talking "dance" for a little bit after.
How was your weekend?? Did you do anything fun??

Sounds like great fun. I would love to see the nutcracker and would just love to take my sister since she used to be a big dancer.
Oh how fun! I remember my first time seeing it. I was 8 and went with my aunt. She even bought me a pretty velvet dress to wear lol
Is it just me or was your screen snowing? Haha so cool my dear!!
I'm just laying around yesterday and today, sore throat. But the hubby and I went to a masquerade ball fri!

Aww sister date!!! Sounds like fun :) I've never seen the Nutcracker either... I really don't have any excuse!
I love the Nutcracker! I went to see it for the first time a few years ago with a close friend from college. My weekend was amazing, we do a Christmas Cookie Baking party every year with all the girls from my family, and yesterday was the day! Always so much fun. And PS - love the snow on your blog. How in the world did you do this?!
You two are so gorgeous!

I LOVE the nutcracker! My mom and I used to go see it every year. I love the music- it brings back such good memories! Sounds like you guys had a fun time :)
what a sweet sweet thing to do with your sister! the nutcracker is a classic, never gets old. and it is such a festive thing to do this time of year.
Oh! I LOVE the nutcracker. Back when I was a wee little child I was in ballet and our group did the nutcracker.. I was a snowbird and one of the arabian dancers.
I used to go watch another dance company's Nutcracker every year for school. My friend was one of the main dancers my freshman year and so I was able to go backstage and meet everyone. (they had dancers from BYU come and play the sugar plum princess and the prince)
so fun! I'm jealous!
what a fun sister date! those nights are always the best. and i love your hair miss gentri!!! so dang cute.
