Christmas Eve is our Family tradion of going to the Nutcracker and brunch.
Mr. took me on our first Christmas Eve after we got engaged, and I don't think we've missed a year.
As my babies got old enough (barely) to tag along, we've brought them.
It is what feels most like Christmas to me!
We've seen the Nutcracker from Boston, to New York, to Utah, and Colorado.
So fun to be back with the new sets and choreography at Ballet West this year.
Mr. C.'s Nutcracker will forever be the ONLY Nutcracker for me.
We try to get there early to be able to walk around and take it all in.
I still get butterflies in my tummy when I hear the orchestra warming up.
When the curtain goes up and the opening notes of the orchestra begin to play, it feels like Christmas to me at last. I sit through the entire show on the edge of my seat in pure joy. Watching my girls enjoy something I love so much is one of my favorite things on earth!
Intermission treats
My hot date.
My SHOES!
When the show ends on Christmas Eve there is always a special visitor giving out treats.
We head to Grand America to see the windows and the big gingerbread house.
We have amazing brunch with king crab legs, eggs benedict, and every other thing you could possibly imagine.
Such a special Day!
