It was beautiful.
I knew that one day I would want to take my kids to see it too.
And when Addy was 3, we took her to see it, and she loved it too.
It is so much fun to get all dressed up, go out for a fancy dinner, and then go to The Schuster Center.
The Christmas decorations were up, the Holiday music was playing, and there was a fabulous anticipation in the air because it was just one of those magical moments.
You know, the kind that almost make you want to cry.
(Okay, so maybe I'm a little over-emotional right now. But it *is* just so special!)
I wish everyone had the chance to see this beautiful and special ballet, but I realize that it can be a big expense during a time of year that is already kind of tight.
Not that it's not worth it, because it TOTALLY is! But I'm just saying that I can definitely see why sometimes people just can't fit it into the budget.

ReplyDeleteI would love to win the tickets because my son and daughter LOVE nutcrackers and reading the story. They each buy a Nutcracker every year to add to their collection, but we have never seen the ballet. I know they would LOVE it!!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of seeing the nutcracker is in college...it was the best event of the year, and a bunch of us would get dates and drive 45 minutes to indy from taylor...we would drive down meridian to get into town...the streets were always damp with rain or melting snow, and it made all the decoratiions on the big houses even more beautiful...the ballet was always beautiful, but the whole evening was just magical.
ReplyDeleteI want to win tickets so i can take my 3yo to see it...we would love to take her for a night with mommy and daddy...no baby brother! It would be so special!

Derek took me to see the Nutcracker before we were married. We went to Cincy. He took me out to the nicest dinner we had been to and then the ballet. They have a live orchestra, it was amazing! I remember thingking I hope we get married, have a little girl and come see this again! Truly worth it :)

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, my favorite memory of seeing the Nutcracker is watching it on TV and wishing I could go in person!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win these tickets to take my daughter to experience the Nutcracker live AND to experience myself since I've always wanted to go but have never had the chance!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog : )
ReplyDeleteI think that the only memory of nutcracker is seeing parts of it in HS, LOVE that the arts reach out to the schools, and that the schools support this.
ReplyDeleteI would love to share this with my 6yo who has NO CLUE what Ballet is. He would be AMAZED!
ReplyDeleteI took Sofia last year and I will take her again, even though I'm probably too late for the entry for your free tix!
