NUTCRACKER

Kicked off our vacation by attending the Nutcracker performed by a local dance company here in Lee's Summit. Ballet was performed at Blue Springs High South. Many Girl Scouts attended this and many performed in it. Got to see many of my girls dance.

 

 

 

Violet has been watching the Nutcracker in music class for the last few weeks. She gave me a running synopsis of everything going on throughout the entire ballet.

SANTA VISIT & BIRTHDAY CELEBRATING

Waiting patiently. There was quite the line this year. Only had to wait about 15 minutes but by the time we left the line was an hour long.

 

 

Violet telling Santa what she and Gryphin want for Christmas.

 

Gryphin was not phased at all by some strange guy holding him.

 

 

 

 

  

Then we went to Red Robin's for birthday dinner. Free Chicken sandwich if your name was Chris today. Score! Also free sundae!

 

Then home to more treats.

 

Candles that keep relighting after they are blown out.

 

He thought it was funny.

 

Ham! Sing 'happy to you'.

 

  

Birthday loot.
