December 2010: Nutcracker and Christmas

Christmas saw Grandpa back for a longer visit. Cara enjoyed her very first ballet, with a trip to the Nutcracker. The Pacific Northwest Ballet does a wonderful production with sets designed by Maurice Sendak. Cara had a chance to preview the Nutcracker on Netflix a few times before she saw the live production. She was captivated by the costumes and dance. Christmas itself was the usual fun of special food, stories and of course presents. Some friends joined us for Christmas dinner, so Cara was able to show off some of her favorite toys.
