Ballet is sort of a mystery to me. And I don't want to unravel that mystery. ~Robert Caro
We've been planning a special outing to The
{Houston Ballet}'s presentation of The Nutcracker since September. Yesterday, the day
finally arrived! Lexi and I got all dressed up for a Girls' Day Out.

| We're soooooo excited! |
 |
| Love you, Mommy! |

| Big brother got a "mean face" picture out of me. |
We met our sweet friends, April and Chloe, at Cheesecake Factory for a delicious lunch.
 |
| Time to leave for the ballet! |
The ballet was at the Wortham Center in downtown Houston. If you're not familiar with The Nutcracker,
{here} is a simple synopsis. Did you know that The Nutcracker was first performed 118 years ago today? And the first time it was performed, it was considered a complete failure!?! I'm sure those critics and audiences wouldn't believe how it has come to be such a beloved ballet. The entire performance was wonderful. Lexi's favorite was the Sugar Plum Fairy!

| Chloe and April-beautiful ladies! |

| Vicki Mouse signed Lexi's playbill and posed for a photo |

| Peeking out the window at The Aquarium... looks like fun! |

What a truly magical day!
p.s. Jeremy, they'll be performing The Sleeping Beauty in March... hint, hint.
Looks like you guys had a great time! You both looked so beautiful!!
