Houston Ballet's Nutcracker

We went to see The Nutcracker this year with Emilia's cousin, Bailey, and friends Zara and Sarah.  Zara and Sarah (with Jordan) also went with us to see Mary Poppins in 2009 and to Sleeping Beauty in 2010.  Look how fast these girls are growing up!!

We always eat at The Spaghetti Warehouse beforehand and then pose for pictures.

 

 

There was a huge Gingerbread House on display at the Wortham.

But Emilia's favorite part is meeting the characters during intermission.

This year we even got to meet the chef at the end of the show!
