Flashback Friday: Nutcracker 2011

This weeks Flashback Friday isn't really a Flashback, more of a one-week-back, but I wanted to actually get it on here before it qualified as a Flashback. Ally's ballet studio does the Nutcracker ballet every Christmas. We have never been able to go before this year. While Ally is able to participate she has never really wanted to partly because she didn't really know what it entailed. Well, next year it is mandatory if she wants to continue on with the same studio. So, we decided we better go check it out so she can finally know what it is really all about.

We had Ethan take a few pictures of us before we left. Of course Evie wanted to be in some of them as well.
Yep, my girls have a little bit of sass in them, that is for sure!
We had a great time. We went to eat at Olive Garden, it has been fun to teach Ally that there is food beyond McDonald's. We had a veritable feast that night and then enjoyed our leftovers the next day for lunch.

Although she was leaning towards NOT being in the Nutcracker next year when we left our house, by the time we hit Intermission she had done a 180! So, next year our whole family will be attending so we can see our Awesome Ally perform in it! Looking forward to it!

When we got out we decided to get a bit of Christmas shopping done! It was a super fun night!
