Nutcracker and A Lifelong Friend...

We went to the Boston Ballet's Nutcracker today.  The first annual with Maggie and her best friend Emily and Emily's mom and I.  Maggie is five and Emily turns five this month, and watching them today and listening to them interact with one another was one of the most amazing things.  These girls have been friends now since before they were two.  Our first ever outing together was Elmo live about 3 years ago.  Now they have gone from playing side by side to laughing at each others silly jokes, playing 'no block' tic tac toe, and admiring their dresses for the show. 

Bonus- the girls got to meet Clara after the show.  Mommy herself was too star struck to get a photo- oops!
