A year before Audrey was born I experienced my first ballet performance and it was the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center in New York City. I never thought I would be a fan of the ballet but enjoyed every second of it! I especially enjoyed watching all the families dressed up in their Christmas best for the occasion. From that moment on I looked forward to the day I could do the same.
I thought 4 would be the perfect age to start this Christmas tradition. Audrey loves watching the older girls practice after her class and we read numerous books about the Nutcracker in preparation. She did quite well for being 4. I think she started to lose interest after intermission but still stayed in her seat and enjoyed the show. I was glad to share the experience with my mom who also had never been to the ballet.

Of course she needed a snack at the break...
