Lunch before the Nutcracker

Gracie and I had a Ladies Lunch today before the Nutcracker. It was fun! I had quiche and salad and Gracie had penne with parmesan and butter. then for dessert I had a huckleberry Creme Brulee and Gracie had a sinful Truffle Cake that was so rich and decadent! Our seats at the Ballet were amazing, a balcony box so close we might as well have been sitting on stage. Gracie lasted very well, until the last 5 minutes before she tried to throw herself over the railing. They had cushions for her to sit on and she really liked the ballet but didn't know that there wouldn't be words! Paul was off shopping with Lucy and when we came out of the ballet it was snowing a beautiful slow snowfall. It is supposed to storm all night and it has shut down the city! But Gracie and I walked around enjoying the twinkling lights while we waited for our ride! Thank you so much to Granny Suki who made the experience possible and also bought Gracie's sweet outfit for the big occasion!
