One of our family traditions we began when Christina, Rhyan, and I were children was going to see the Dallas Ballet Company's production of "The Nutcracker". Mom would purchase these giant, matching Christmas dresses and dress us up. All three of us were mesmerized by the music and graceful way in which the dancers moved across the stage. There is something so captivating with the art of ballet. We decided this year would be a perfect opportunity for Kayla to attend her first performance of "The Nutcracker". The Moscow Ballet's performance was on Sunday, November 24 at 3:00 in the afternoon. Of course, the Shirley family showed up fashionably late, but we enjoyed what we saw.

The first thing Kayla wanted to do once we got home was put on her pink tutu and twirl. I took a video of her twirling, but it wouldn't upload. Suffice it to say, she now wants to be a ballerina!! She starts ballet in January, 2014.
