Nutcracker

I took Brenna to the ballet on Monday night to see "The Nutcracker". We went with our awesome neighbor, Torrey, and her daughter, Makenna, who is a few months younger and takes ballet class with Brenna. Brenna was mesmerized with the dancers and story during the first half. After intermission it went, how do you say....down-hill. We had front-row seats (which was great) and the girls wanted to go up to the edge of the stage to see the dancers up-close and personal (what do you expect from a 2 1/2 year-old?). I had to wrestle Brenna away from the stage a few times but, in the end, it was a fun night and an amazing performance. Thanks, Torrey, for getting the tickets for us---it was so much fun! After the show we took pictures with a girl in our ward, who danced in the Nutcracker (and was amazing), and bought a Nutcracker doll to remember the event. Brenna and Makenna decided to show off their dance moves by doing somersaults in the lobby (after everyone was gone). Silly girls!
