Today we took Mia to the Nutcracker for the first time...It was so wonderful. We dressed up in our Christmas clothes went to Olive Garden for lunch, thanks Stefani, then went to the ballet.
Mia was mesmerized, I don't think she blinked the entire first act. She started off sitting on Josh's lap, and soon realized I had a better seat so she moved to my lap, that lasted for about 10 minutes when she kicked me out of my seat to hers, and stole mine. She loved every minute of it...before the ballet began we let her pick out a souvenir, she chose a little sugar plum fairy 
ornament, then wanted to get something for McKinlee...during the intermission she decided that mom and dad need a souvenir too so she ran out and bought something for Josh, and grabbed Josh to get something for me, but it was starting again, so she waited until it was over. We have to wait for Christmas to see what we got, as soon as we got home she wrapped them all by herself. She is such a sweet and thoughtful little girl. All evening she danced, she put on a costume and made me find the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy on itunes and danced until she went to bed. As she went to bed she said, "the only thing that would make this day better is if McKinlee could have come too, next year." That melted my heart.
Surprisingly Josh enjoyed it too, he only fell asleep once and it was just for a few minutes...not too bad, for not being a football game. He even said, he was surprised at how good it was, and was wishes he had the talent and body of the guys, but not if that means he has to be a ballerina...lol

How fun! That is so sweet how she wanted her little sis to come too! Maybe you could get Josh a ballet workout video for Christmas.
What a wonderful sister Mia is! I think Josh would look great in one of those onesie-tight outfits! Maybe for your next anniversary...
