About a month ago, I got a flyer in the mail, from the Lewis Family Playhouse, advertising the Inland Pacific Ballet's production of The Nutcracker. As I looked at the flyer I mentioned to my parents that someday I wanted to see The Nutcracker, but for now I was going to work on saving my pennies. I didn't really put any more thought into it. However, the next day, when I came home from work, my parents told me that they had an idea for my Christmas present, but wanted to run it by me first. My dad asked if I would like to go see The Nutcracker with my mom for Christmas. Ummm...YES! How cool is that?!? I was super excited about it and when the night finally arrived, my mom and I had a great time seeing the show! At first I was scared that we weren't going to make it to the show because the Lewis Family Playhouse is at Victoria Gardens, which is a mall, and malls are always crazy at Christmas time! We had to park SO far away and hustle all the way to the other side of the mall to get to the Playhouse! We did make it, though! Phew!
I had never been to a ballet and it was on my bucket list, so I was super excited! The first act went by super quickly and the dancers and music were amazing! After intermission, the second act flew by as well! It was fun to see how the music I'd heard all my life fit into the actual show! I loved seeing the show and, especially, getting to see it with my mom! It was a super fun night!
With the Sugarplum Fairy!

And, of course, we had to end the night with a mother-daughter selfie! :)
