the Nutcracker


For Christmas, Matt and I always try to get each other something to DO instead of a gift, and last night was my present! Matt got tickets for us and my dad to go see "The Nutcracker" ballet in downtown Columbus, preceded by a really nice dinner at one of my favorite places. It was SO much fun, something we definitely could not have done if we'd been in Haiti or if we had a new baby, and just so special! It brought back some great memories of doing this with my whole family whenever I was younger, and was super "Christmasy"! My sister will be home from Chicago for 2 weeks tomorrow, and we're praying for Lily to come this weekend so we can have the most time with Lily as possible to share with her, the rest of my family, and Matt's family in Delaware!

  2. Great fun!! I am a little worried Matt had so much fun at the ballet, I hope he at least watched some football afterwards to balance!

    Love you guys, anxious for Lily's arrival, praying all will go well.

    Love, Martin & Sharon
