Nutcracker

Lauren loves to dance. If there is music playing, she will be dance. We could be at the grocery store, a movie, or in the car and she'll be dancing to the music. Starting at the new year Lauren is going to be in a new ballet/tap class. They do two performances every year. In the winter they perform the nutcracker. I decided that it would be fun to have a mommy/daughter date and go to the nutcracker together. We got all dressed up. Lauren insisted that I wear my "up" shoes and then left Rob with the other two for a few hours of girly fun. We had a wonderful time together and Lauren loved the performance. I don't think she quite knew what to expect but when the first dancers came on the stage, she was beaming! She especially loved intermission, because I suprised her with a cookie and some flowers. Here are a few pictures from our day.  (In a very odd order...)
