Hi guys! So, last night my husband and I went to Brookfield to watch a free performance of The Nutcracker by The New York Theater Ballet and children from Ballet School NY. I’ve never seen The Nutcracker and I actually didn’t even know the story (believe it or not), so I was excited. We came an hour early and it was already full! I can’t say it was the most amazing ballet ever but for being a free performance it was ok. The choreography wasn’t very good and the poor kids didn’t get to dance much, some little girls just sat as statues and not much more. The “Marie” dancer was not very good either, even J said so before I mentioned it. There were a few great dancers though and some costumes were cool. I’m sure kids in the audience loved it.
Today we took the subway up to Grand Central. We wanted to check out the Christmas shops both inside GC and by Bryant Park. Not much interesting there, but it was nice to walk around and try to get some Christmas feeling. Back downtown, J went to the hairdresser and I went to Starbucks. Normally I’m not a Starbucks fan, but I like to order a soy peppermint latte with extra espresso there. Now, we’re just hanging out at home. A pretty relaxed weekend.
