The Nutcracker Ballet (it was definitely nuts!)

Kaity and I headed to the Nutcracker ballet last Friday night in all of our "goin' out" finery. She had a new dress and was very excited to meet her best friend, Hannasha, her little sister, Pauline, and their mom at Chick-Fil-A before heading the performing arts center. We actually did get them to eat while playing on the jungle gym in their pretty dresses. We had seats in the balcony and luckily were the very last ones up there. (There weren't very many people in the balcony to begin with and they actually told us we could move up if we wanted to.) The girls were very, very rambunctious and didn't really understand the use of a whisper. Every time a new ballerina came on stage, they would both say "that's me!" and then begin dancing in the aisles. It was super fun but very exciting. I don't know how my mom ever did it with three little girls (although she says Kaity's not like any of us were!) Here are some of the pictures from the night. Kaity and I set on the camera on self-portrait to take most of these.
