Visions of Sugar Plums

Check out these three little nuts at the Nutcracker!  Katie and I, along with our pals Kim, Patrick (7), and Colleen (4), all attended a local performance of the Christmas classic this afternoon.  We weren't sure how three kids with short attention spans would do, but they all LOVED it!  (Well, Colleen actually fell asleep for most of the second act, but we'll cut her some slack.)  The show had their rapt attention, and Katie stayed up way too late studying her entire playbill afterwards.  We had a fantastic Mexican dinner post-show, and Katie happily chatted the whole hour-long car ride home, so I would consider the day a major success!  She has already asked if we can go next year.  That would definitely be a YES!
