We took Evie to the Nutcracker last year and enjoyed it so much we wanted to do it again this year. Tickets are expensive though so I found a local ballet company that performs in Bellevue that is much cheaper ($16 tix) and has shortened performances in the afternoon that's specifically geared for families with young kids. Awesome idea because it meant I didn't mind taking Nora with us this time. Scott even wanted to join in on the fun.
And fun it was! The show obviously wasn't as high quality as the Seattle one, but it was still fun to hear the music and to watch the ballerinas twirl around on stage. I was really impressed that both girls sat quietly through the whole thing which was about 1.5 hours long (including intermission). The LOVED getting dressed up for the event, and loved even more the lollipop treat we surprised them with for being so good.
I think we have a tradition starting up!

They shared a seat for part of the show.
Love the look on their sweet faces! |
