Christie, Jeremy's campaign manager, called Hannah earlier this week and asked her if she wanted to go to the ballet. Of course Hannah said Yes so Christie sent us four tickets! Later in the week the girls got a package (from Christie) with a nutcracker book and cd in it. Hannah immediately read the book and we have been listening to the cd non-stop! The girls love to dance around the house to the music! Hannah is good at giving them directions "This is the land of sweets" or "This is the dance of the snow princess" and whenever they hear Jeremy they run and hide because he is the Mouse King! It is so cute!
Today we got to go see the ballet! The girls have been so excited all week and today I thought they might burst! They got to wear their "fancy" dresses which made them happy--they love to dress up! We went to the Egyptian theater and the ballet did not disappoint! Watching the girls faces was the best part! They loved every minute of it! We had great seats (we sat on the fourth row) and were able to see every detail! The costumes were amazing. At intermission we took the girls up and showed them where the orchestra sat--it was fun for them to see them all under the stage! This was the first time any of us had seen the Nutcracker and we all enjoyed it--yes, even Jeremy!
When the ballet was over the girls left the theater dancing--and haven't stopped! They will remember this for a long time! It was a great day--Thanks Christie!
