When we left Boston we left many good friends behind. And while they think it's neat that we have foliage and mud and cows and snow, we think it's neat that they have civilization, museums, theatrical events, etc. So last weekend to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary we left our kids with their Boston "cousins" and we took off to see the Nutcracker at the Boston Opera house.

We've never been to the ballet before and I suspected the Nutcracker was the best of the best so we spent the money on really good seats and I was so glad we did! Here's a (blurry) shot of just the stage curtain:
The show was truly amazing; I wish I'd taken a picture at the end of the dancers in costume. The dancers were so talented and graceful. I can't imagine any little girl who wouldn't want to be a ballerina after seeing that! In fact, one of our Boston "cousins", Emma, was actually in the production as a very tall reindeer. She was adorable and although her part was small with not much dancing, you have to start somewhere, right?
Look how gorgeous the Opera House is!
I can't wait until the kids are old enough to see it: translation, can sit still long enough to enjoy it. I'm sure A will be putting on tights to leap around the house while M will put on her dancing costumes and delight us as our little ballerina.

I'm so glad you're a fan! What a treat. And speaking of treats... your box of cookies is awesome. What were the kids doing while you were baking??
happy anniversary
