We went to see the Nutcracker for the 4th year in a row and had another magical time. It was so sweet to see them come home, put on their dress-up clothes, and run around outside being a Snow Fairy and the Mouse King. Ashton doesn’t dress up anymore like she did when she was little–where we played “Nutcracker” over and over and over again– so it’s really precious to see her wearing those fancy dresses when she does.
Soon their dress-ups were caked with mud, and that is as it should be… and just what I want for them.

How fun! I’ve never seen Nutcracker before. I really need to do this someday. I love that you have this tradition, and it’s even better that they get to dress up and play. It’s what being a kid is all about and yours couldn’t be any cuter! 🙂
