Mini-Nutcracker

Thanks to our good friend Samantha, a sizeable group of us brought our kids to see the Mini-Nutcracker, or the Mini-Nu.  It is a version of the ballet designed for you children, cut down to about an 50 minutes and danced by young dancers.  Before the show, we got to meet some of the dancers, which was a great treat for the kids.

Melvis goes to the ballet.  We sat in the front row of the balcony next to Maeve.

Anders came with us and was such a big kid.  He did make me sneak him some food during the performance, but he sat quietly through the whole thing and paid attention to almost every minute of it.
