Preparing for the Nutcracker

Mama and Caleigh had a special outing on 11/21 to the local high school (Upper Darby) for a fabulous showing of the Nutcracker (it's 20th year). We met Kami and Elise (also 3) for a girls afternoon out. We strolled through the nutcracker display before the show, and enjoyed our eighth row middle orchestra seats for the ballet. Caleigh was impressed and sat very well through the almost 2 hour production (with intermission). She liked the tree 'growing' and the candy background. She noted that they were dancing a lot (I think she thought there would be talking). She wondered if they would drink while eating all that candy. She picked out her purple velvet dress from the closet to wear. She asked questions about the mice that danced around with the little girl. She showed Daddy how the girls danced when we got home. We had a great time!
