Last night, we had many special guests at the Nutcracker. Aunt Darrah came in from NY, and Grampy and Lisa and Kristen came too. It was a great performance, as usual, though the girls were very grumpy on the way home. Weeknight performances are very tough. Next Sunday is our next show.

Here is a post-performance picture:

On the way home from every show, we talk about which parts we want the girls to get next year. I am pulling for little Chinese (I think they will be too big), Clowns (I think they will be too small), or soldiers. That's my latest pick.

Tomorrow is the girls' Christmas parties at school. We are all looking forward to vacation!
