There is something so timeless about watching ballet during the holiday season.  We had the opportunity to watch our ballerina at her holiday recital downtown where the real ballerinas in town practice.  We arrived extra early to be sure we found a place to park amidst the flurry of downtown traffic and construction.

When we got there, we noticed the real ballerinas warming up for their Nutracker performance later that afternoon.  My girl stood outside the window and warmed up with one of the real ballerinas in the window.  They silently warmed up, mimicking each other, for the better part of 20 minutes.  My girl was entranced to be interacting (through the window) with a real ballerina.  We were grateful to the ballerina in the window who took such great interest in our little girl standing outside.  

It was a magical morning for all of us!
