The Nutcracker!

For my birthday my mom surprised me with tickets to The Nutcracker! Ever since I was a little baby nugget I have loved The Nutcracker, and always wanted to go to the ballet. My mom surprised me and put two tickets in my birthday card this year and I couldn't believe it! She is the greatest. Such a selfless woman. I love her.

Nick and I went to the new Kauffman Performing Arts Center in downtown KC, and we really had a great time! I probably enjoyed the ballet a lot more than Nick did, but he was excited to see the performing art's building... And really, so was I. It looks amazing from the outside so I was anxious to see what it looked like from the inside. I was pleasantly surprised. Here are few pictures from our night!


Looking out of the building, south, towards the Crossroads Art District.

Intermission, the view at night...

Our floor "bar" and all the people waiting in line...

What a great birthday. Thanks MOM!
