The Nutcracker

One of Rachel's good friends from school, Emily, was an angel in a local production of The Nutcracker last night. We thought it would be a great idea to support Emily and would be fun for Rachel to go out on a date with her daddy. Audrey was a bit disappointed... I told her next year we'll make it a girls night out and all three of the girls will go. It's tricky when you're a nursing mom and have a baby who would need to be fed right in the middle of the performance. This year Daddy stepped up and I think both of them had a great time. Audrey and I enjoyed a movie night at home once Ian was put to sleep. We only got half way through the movie before she asked to go to bed. She was tired. I was surprised she wanted to go to bed without her sister, because they share a room. But she really was tired. When Rachel got home around 10:30 I thought she would be tired. But she wasn't! She had a great time at the performance and I enjoyed her telling me about it. Her daddy spoiled her and bought her a special ornament of Clara.

Before Andy and Rachel left on their date I grabbed a quick picture:
Before the performance they ran into some church friends. These three little girls were all born within a couple months of each other and were all our first babies (Rachel, Lindsey, & Nicole):
I'm glad Rachel enjoyed The Nutcracker. She was excited to see Emily on stage. I think we may have started a new holiday tradition...
