Sleeping Beauty Ballet

 

Almost a year ago, we bought tickets to see the ballet Sleeping Beauty. It was a long wait and there were months when we almost forgot about it, but it finally happened this weekend! We took Austin's mom and sister along with two cousins and the girls had lots of fun. We went to our favorite crepe restaurant first then got to the ballet a little early. The ballet was about an hour longer than anticipated, with two intermissions, which made it hard for little girls (mostly Natalie) to sit still, but they were dazzled by all the tulle, glitter, flowers, silk, and dancing around on point. The most exciting time might have been the hour before we left the house when they got to get all dressed up with a little bit of make up, fancy hair-dos (at least fancy for me- since the most I usually do it comb it and put it in a ponytail.) Natalie was thrilled to take a little purse inherited from my grandma with all her monies (a bunch of coins) and some lip gloss in it- which she applied liberally multiple times throughout the day ;)

 

As you can see she was also very excited about the hot chocolate she had with lunch. 

Here are the girls in our seats waiting for the show to start and below Heidi and Natalie during one of the intermissions.

The boys' soccer games got cancelled due to snow, so Austin took them down to Boulder to go around to as many shops as possible with his brother. Trevor is now the proud owner of a Fjallraven fanny pack!
