Yesterday, Lainey and I had the pleasure of going to see the Nutcracker with a group of moms and their daughters. Prior to the performance, one of the moms (Laura) and her friend (Stephanie) hosted a fabulous Sugar Plum Fairy Tea. The girls got to drink out of real glass cups and eat off of real glass plates! Such a treat. They also got to make their own snow globes!! Laura is super crafty and just went above and beyond to make this day memorable and special for the girls and their moms. It certainly was..thank you, Laura!

(I just like Lainey's expression in this photo. I'm sure I'll see more of that look as the years go by...)
During the performance, the girls did great. It was two hours long, and by the time 5:00 rolled around we were all getting pretty antsy. Lainey danced in front of her chair towards the end, and I was content to let her do that because it meant that she wasn't wiggling around in her chair (or in my lap). Throughout the ballet, Lainey asked me about 1,000 questions about the dancers and why this was happening or why that was happening. She truly enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to making this an annual tradition!
