This past weekend I took my two oldest boys to the Nutcracker Tea Party – what has surely become a fun tradition for us this time of year and we had such a festive time!  They were the handsome-est boys in the place and had the attention and admiration of all the young princesses at the ballet!

There were several moms and members of the ballet themselves who made comments to me that it was wonderful of me to bring my boys (without girls or sisters) to such an event.  And why not?  They love dressing up and enjoying the tea-time treats and pastries.  They were smug when I told them we'd have to wait an entire YEAR before going again.  I am so glad this has become a tradition of ours and hope it continues for many more years to come!  We had an awesome time!

The afternoon began with a pint-sized tea party and the boys enjoyed cut fruit, cheeses, tea sandwiches, breads, and of course COOKIES!  One of the things I really love about the whole experience is that the kids get to see the ballet up close and personal and are encouraged to dance along with the show.  I also think it's so cool that the characters come around before the performance begins to pose for pics with the audience!  So fun!  We can hardly wait till next year! ♥
