Ballet

Going to the Nutcracker reminds me of my childhood - driving into the "big city", being cold, getting dressed up.

It was really fun - I hadn't seen a professional production in a long time and the costumes were a-mazing. Gets you into the holiday spirit, that's for sure. Hooray for early birthday gifts!

(I'm also using my Christmas gift from The Professor - a new digital camera! I use a regular point and shoot since it's easy to throw in my purse and less cumbersome than our DSLR, so I'm now the proud owner of a Nikon Coolpix S220 in the color "plum.")
