The Nutcracker Junior

Took all of the kids to a shortened version of The Nutcracker Ballet and they all enjoyed it. I tried to find a sitter for Tenley, at Spencer's suggestion, and was unable to. Rather than have the boys miss the ballet I decided to bring her along. She LOVED it. Overall, it was a huge success. Some of the boys even asked if they could see the full ballet next year.

Others insisted that a football game would have been better. 

You can't win 'em all. But I'll take "tolerable" as a win.
