"The Nutcracker" Colorado Ballet

Cassidy is the daughter of a friend and team mate of Deb Bennett's, Jamie is the daughter of Deb's. We all went to the ballet together. We rode the light rail downtown, had lunch, watched the ballet, stopped by to see Santa (Ellice did not want to talk to him), and had hot chocolate and coffee. We had a great day! Ellice used her best manners and showed me just how big she can be.

The ballet was a matinee and was filled with little girls in Christmas dresses and their moms and grandmothers. There were a few men and little boys dispersed through the crowd but the majority were females. The whole experience was great and very kid friendly...I heard the staff talking to several girls (including Ellice) complementing them on their dresses and how pretty they looked.
