The Nutcracker & Sweets

We started a new tradition this year when we took Annabel and a friend to see the Nutcracker Suite.  The ballet was held at the University, and the ballet troupe involved did a great job.  Here are the girls anxiously awaiting the start of the show:
Intermission was spent eating donuts in my office:
 
Although both girls declared that parts of the show were boring (in their defense, I think they thought that the performance would be more like the Barbie Nutcracker DVD), they were more than thrilled to meet some of the ballerinas after the show:
The most entertaining part of the day for me, however, was trying to explain to Annabel that it really was OK to say "Brake a leg" to the performers!

Well, this brings back some 'ballet' memories and a car so spattered with mud that we pretended to walk right past it to deny association and then crumpling into the worst laughing fit! Remember? Loved Annabel's confusion with the 'break a leg' phrase!
