clytie adam's nutcracker is one of my favorite traditions of the year.
the smith girls always get together and go to the saturday matinee - this year laurel was finally old enough to come so all the girls in our family were accounted for.
we went to breakfast this year at doug and emmy's before the show- oh my was it good!
we waited for ever for our food so we had lots of time for photos.
some how i missed getting a photo of addie at breakfast.
allie, and all the little girls, were especially fond of their hot chocolate.
we were in a huge hurry by the time the food got to us, so i missed getting a photo of the giant scones, i couldn't believe how big they were! we will definitely eat here again, but some time when we're not pressed for time.
we barely got to the show on time, but thanks to april's illegal parking job, we got a spot right up front and ran in just in time. (don't worry, we did not take a handicap space, just "extended" the row by one spot)
we especially love seeing so many of allie's friends in the production, everyone did a wonderful job. next year i need to make a point of taking allie's photo with all of her friends who dance in the production, it really is a highlight for us to get to see them in their element.
i am always completely stunned at the grace and athletisism of the professional ballet dancers. which is good, because you need to have something to distract you from the sprayed on pants of the male dancers. wow. i mean, talk about self confidence.
the lady taking our photo kept moving to the right which accounts for our weird posing.
what was she thinking?
over all it was a wonderful day, yummy breakfast, beautiful dancing, happy girls and of course, TRADITOOOOOON!
i have to admit though, i was sad to be missing ashleigh from this year's photo. sigh.

Fun times!!!! I really missed going this year....maybe next year I need to be adopted sister.....I do have the right hair color :)
What a fun tradition! I can't wait until my girls are old enough to do that :) And isn't Doug and Emmy's the best? I haven't been in a while, but for thanks for bringing it up-- it's time for us to make it out there again!
Doug and Emmie's is the BEST breakfast! I love the scones and hot chocolate too! Fun tradition, I wish I could watch it too.

Wende! You are the bomb! That phrase may be out already, but you know what I mean. Your life is a celebration! You are the only person I know that has moved to UT and made FRIENDS! Not that people aren't friendly, they just have so much family that there's not much time to be more than acquaintances. Not you, though. You have both.
I knew Clytie Adams! She had a small studio on Mainstreet in Kaysville where I used to take as a little girl from Clytie's daughter or niece.
I loved this production last year! I'm sad we didn't go this year...what a great tradition.
