El Cascanueces

Last night I went to the National Theater and saw The Nutcracker. That was my first live ballet - who knew I had to come to Costa Rica to experience such sophisticated culture?! But it was beautiful. I enjoyed the time with a bunch of other ladies from language school. I was glad Sean wasn't there, though, I just don't see him getting much of a "kick" out of watching people dancing around on the stage...when you put it that way, who would?! Brooklyn stayed home and played with Daddy while Mommy had a nice evening out with the girls. I even wore real dress shoes - not flip-flops! Impressive, I know, but for the record I nearly fell and twisted my ankle so it's back to my old standby again.
