So as a really fun thing every Christmas I take the girls to go see the Nutcracker. This year cousin Alyssa got to go with us. We all dress up in our prettiest clothes and go to dinner then to the ballet. There is no mistaking how much Ariel loves it. At intermission some of the backstage crew came and asked us if we would like to go backstage after the performance and they would give us a tour.
Michaela was a little tired by then but everyone else was game so off we went. They learned how the snow was made, got to see Mother Ginger's skirt up close and got to see and touch some of the tutu's. Oh and they also got to meet some of the dancers. As someone that danced in the Nutcracker and has a love for it I hope the girls loved it as much as their mother loves sharing it with them.
