Nutcracker

Yay! Rachel and Royal and Jayden and Willow came to spend Christmas with us this year. We had the room in our house so everyone stayed with us. SOOO fun!
Months ago we decided to all go to the Nutcracker in Seattle put on by the Pacific Northwest Ballet. We have been going to this performance since I was about 12...so about 25 years! For the past 31 the PNB has done a specific version of the Nutcracker complete with Maurice Sendak sets. This was the last year so we made an effort to try and get everyone there for this last special season. Rach and fam flew in Saturday evening and got to our house around bed time. The Nutcracker was the next day at 1:00pm. Sadly, Rachel got food poisoning and spent the entire night throwing up and was unable to go with us. It was heart wrenching to leave her behind all by herself at my house to recover. :(

The Nutcracker was as awesome as it always is and we had fun taking all the kids to Seattle and out to dinner at the Cheesecake factory.
