I may be 39 years old, but tonight was both Marler girls' first time to the Nutcracker. Girls' Night Out!! We were out until 9:30 on a school night. Oooh. Chewkie (because her mother wanted her to) has opted to tap instead of dance ballet, so her class performed the following week. But with friends of hers and mine performing we decided to attend. What a lovely evening. It wasn't super polished, that's hard when you have many of the dances performed by children under the age of 10 but Chewkie loved those dances the best. Since she was up way past her bedtime, her attention span and energy dwindled and near the end you could hear her audibly sigh that it wasn't over yet; but as soon as we got outside she immediately asked when we could go back. New Christmas tradition.
She begged for a souvenir to hang on her Christmas tree that she almost immediately gave to her brother when we got home because he felt sad that he didn't get to go. Oh how I love my sweet daughter and our night out.
