Robert got tickets to the Nutcraker full dress rehearsal last night!



I took Leavi with me to see the Nutcracker full dress rehearsal last night! It was so fun! I have never seen it and I was very impressed. We heard the director about 5 times correct the dancers but it was just as good as an actual show! It was at the Keller Auditorium and the seats were really cramped but it was still magnificent. Leavi just loved to watch the ballerinas and listen to the beautiful music. During the intermission I took Leavi down to the lobby and for a $20 donation the the Oregon Ballet Theater you could have a real , signed , used pair of one of the ballerina's toe shoes!!! I bought Leavi a pair and she is in heaven:) The drive home was totally unbearable as there was a bad accident right at the opening of the I5 bridge and we didn't get home until 11:30pm(2 hours of sitting on the freeway) but it didn't ruin the night we still have very fond memories of going to the ballet! I can't say that I would go again but I entered our tickets in for a set of real tickets so if we win them they are up for grabs...wish us luck!
