Daddy Daughter Date

Today David and Baylie went to see the Nutcracker Ballet (gotta love $5 balcony tickets, especially when after intermission you get to move close up). We are hoping to make this an annual tradition.

We were worried that Baylie would be too little and wouldn't like it, so we reserved tickets at the end of a row. But she LOVED it. She was so excited to go on her special date with her daddy. They both got dressed up in their very best clothes and Baylie spent quite a bit of time practicing her twirls. We had a hard time helping her realize that she wouldn't actually be the one dancing.

When I asked her what her favorite part was, she said the candy canes. After the show, they let the children go back stage to meet the dancers and they handed out candy canes.

I think David is thrilled he finally got to introduce one of his children to culture instead of sports.

As for Baylie, she's still twirling.
