Christmas Countdown: The Nutcracker

Photobucket

Remember that surprise I had for the Children-
I planned a special night out in the big city to see the Nutcracker Ballet perform to a live orchestra at the Phoenix Symphony Hall.
I still remember how magical that experience was for me and I couldn't wait to share it with them.

We were escorted to our seats and soon learned that we were to join the amazing
Sugar Plum Fairy's very own mother.
She was most gracious and lovely in a dreamy sort of way.
The girls couldn't keep their hands off of her.
Sugar Plum Fairy Mother said that one day, they too would be Fairies.
