Nutcracker

The girls and I had a great girls night out at the Nutcracker this year. We went to the Pacific Northwest Ballet Co. rendition downtown at McCaw Hall. We had nosebleed seats, which ended up being fine because it is a smallish venue and no one was sitting in front of us. The costume and set was designed by Maurice Sendak (of "Where the Wild Things Are" fame). There was a magician for the kids at the intermission, where the girls were chosen to "help" the magician in one of his tricks. After the ballet, we met up with my college roommate KB and her daughter and walked a couple of blocks to Seattle Center for a treat. We are truly blessed to get to do all of these fun things with our kids.
