The Nutcracker

After being inspired by our trip to see Swan Lake we were back at the ballet for The Nutcracker.  After a long week at school it was definitely nice to have a city outing to look forward to.  Once again, we grabbed dinner at Teatro before heading to the Opera House.

I couldn't resist getting pictures with the giant bear and rabbit before grabbing some champagne and heading to our seat.  (And no, I don't go the ballet just for the bubbles :-)

I have such fond memories of going to the Nutcracker with my mother when I was younger.  It was a tradition for several years after we moved to the South Shore.  I love the changes they have made to the production.  The ballet was beautiful and I'm looking forward to going to another production at some point.
