Nutcracker












This is our 2nd Annual Nutcracker Production to take the girls too. We always allow the kids to bring a friend with them. Hailey of course wanted to bring her best friend Abby. Hannah brought Madi Weaver. We started our evening out a little crazy. We had a lot going on today, and the fact that we were rushing trying to get everything ready, we didnt have time to pick the girls up early to play. Shane picked Abby up around 4:30. They stopped at Chick-fil-A to get a quick dinner. They arrived back at the house about 5:25. We sat them down to eat, and hailey spilled abbys sprite all over the place. It was a mess. Then we found out Abby doesnt like chicken without honey mustard. So, shane made his homemade honeymustard (he mixed honey and mustard). That should do it right? No way!! I think she ate a few french fries. Poor girl. We were suppose to pick Madi up at 5:45. Now that didn't happen. We didn't even have the girls dressed. After we quickly scarfed down our food. We quickly dressed the girls in their beautiful dresses, and packed everyone up in the car. We headed over to the Weavers, loaded up Madi and then quickly headed to the stamps to drop off Hayden. Becky had made up some warm homemade chocolate chip cookies. The kids loved that. They quickly ate their yummy cookies. We finally arrived at the Will Rogers Memorial Auditorium. The girls were super excited. When we got inside they kept asking when it was going to start. At 7:30 if finally started. They were so cute watching the ballerinas. They all acted very good. We were shocked. We were expecting someone to do something. At the intermission I took Madi to go potty, and she asked me when the "princesses" were going to come out? Shane had made the mistake and told her that there was going to be princess' dancing. She thought Cinderella and all the other Disney princesses were going to be there. Way to go babe!! :) Madi understood and it didnt seem to upset her. Then, the last 20 minutes everyone started getting really tired. Hannah and Hailey both fell asleep. I think Abby crashed for a couple of minutes as well. Madi was tired and just laid her head on my arm. When the Nutcracker was over, we stopped at Quicktrip and everyone got a treat for being so good. Yes, I know, sugar that late at night is not very smart, but they deserved it. Then we went home and got ready for bed.
