So much fun... Nutcracker 2008

Every year rain or snow, rich or poor, a Nutcracker we go! Lila's biggest, most thrilling, outing of the Christmas season. Usually, it's either Tim or I that takes her, but counting our blessings with the out come of my health this year all 4 of us went. We called and invited Grandma and Grandpa Miller, since we don't get to see them as much as we'd like and they live fairly close. Turns out they were baby sitting Tim's brother's kids and they were all able to come, and bonus, Tim's sister's youngest came too. It was a great turn out and a special night!

Lila makes paper fans at home, so she was thrilled they were selling "real life fans". She looked just like the Spanish dancers.

The boys waiting patiently for the show to start.

Intermission and Justin treated all the kids to 2 cookies each! What a generous heart!

During intermission who came and said hi to Lila? Clara, the star of the show. What a treat. Lila was a little star struck.

Daddy and his girl. What special memories.

I LOVE this picture. Cole was chasing Evan every where he went and kicking him or hitting him. Not in a bad way, just wanting to play and get his attention. He got more than he wished for! Evan made him dance like the ballet dancers. Cole was laughing so hard, it was hysterical.


Kind of dark, but the gang leaving the performance.

Here's the picture you asked for Abby, the one with the light shining up on you both. Pretty girls, for sure.

Now, a fancy evening has to end with dinner at an exclusive restaurant.

You guessed it!

Lila's date should have dressed a little more appropriate for the occasion. He looks like a clown!
