The Nutcracker

Sheridan and I went to see the Nutcracker. She sat through it pretty well but was upset with the differences between Barbie’s Nutcracker movie and the ballet. Mostly, she was disappointed with how little Clara does in the ballet, and how the prince dances with everyone but her. The audience’s favorites were the Russian dancer and the Persian(?) couple. Afterwards we watched people ice skate outside (an unusual and unnatural act in Houston) and then tried to find a place to eat. Hard Rock Café had a 45-minute wait and Sheridan voted down the Italian place since they didn’t serve Chicken Nuggets. So we headed home instead.
