Jingle plays around with his buddy The "Drummer" Nutcracker (not to be confused with Drummer's brother, The "Soldier" Nutcracker).
He pretends that Drummer boy is eating him for breakfast. What an imagination!
The Whole Family Goes to See "The Nutcracker"
Tonight is the last night of The Nutcracker as performed by Texas Ballet Theater. Our friend Lucas performed as The Nutcracker, Troxler was Arabian and Grandfather, Sasha was Father and Gopak, Tom was a Chinese, Letecia was Sugar Plum Fairy, Carrie was Snow Queen.
We thought it started at 7:30 PM, so we left at 5:40 PM (plenty of time going from our house northwest of Dallas to downtown Fort Worth. We started thinking and Melinda realized (once we were on the road) that it actually started at 7:00 PM instead. We arrived at 6:56, so Melinda dropped of X and myself (Jack) at the door and went to park. We ran in, got our tickets from Will Call (Thanks, Ben Stevenson!), ran to the restroom and barely made it in before the doors closed. Melinda and A were too late for the first act.
Melinda and A had a very special hour at Starbucks across the street where he got to pick out a cookie and drink. In the meantime, X stayed glued to his chair watching every second of the ballet. Of course, he loved at the end of the first act when it "snows" on the audience.
Melinda and A joined us in the second act and little 3-year-old A made it all the way to the Prince does his final solo. 5-year-old X was getting antsy about then, but lasted to the end.
What a great performance! Go TBT!
