We are trying to make it a tradition - "Girl's night out at the Nutcracker Ballet." Maddie, my mom, and myself look forward to this outing each Christmas. The older Maddie gets, the more she enjoys it....the costumes, the atmosphere, the musical instruments down in the orchestra pit, and of course the dancers. Her favorite part was Madam Ginger with all the little girls that came out from under her large hoop dress. Maddie asked me to take some pictures of the performance so she could remember it, but I wasn't allowed to do that - darn it. It was a special evening. 
Maddie has started a little nutcracker collection. This is her newest addition. Also, my mom just arrived back in Utah from visiting my sister in Vermont. She met us on her way home for this event. She had been traveling since 4:00 in the morning but she wasn't about to miss "Girl's Night Out!" Thanks mom - It wouldn't have been the same without you!!

Hey you need to tell maddie there is a man in utah who has a collection of 500 nutcracker statues. He puts them up after thanksgiving and leaves them till just after the end of january. Ha ha I hope her colllection doesn't get that big until after she moves out on her own. I really admire the relationship you have with your mom.
