Nutcracker!   

Elsie and I want to go see Nutcracker. Earlier this year we tired to order tickets. We got out all the money we had been saving in our little bank and tired to fill in the order forms. We didn't have nearly enough money though and the forms were confusing. It doesn't help that we don't know how to write! We asked person to buy us tickets but she said no. 

This week we found out that person had tickets to see the show but she wasn't planning to take us. We solved this problem by sneaking into her purse while she was getting ready. Emmalina helped us into the purse but their wasn't room for her to go too.

Once we got to the show person discovered that we had come along. She was upset at first but then she let us peak our heads out of her purse so we could see.

Here we are at the theater

We were so excited about Nutcracker that we decided to put on our own production. I let Elsie have the part of Clara because she is little and has a pretty dress. I will be the director because I am good at that sort of thing. I'm always directing my person anyway. Person got us a little Nutcracker toy that we can use.

We studied the program very carefully for ideas

We still need Tutus for our production. We tried to make them ourselves but as usual sewing was difficult. We hope to all get Tutus for Christmas.  

George, you aren't being very helpful

We will be selling tickets to our show soon. Tickets will have to be very expensive because there is not a lot of room at our house. We are sure there will be tons of interest and everyone will want to come. Person does not know about the production yet. It is a special birthday surprise for her. We are sure she will be very happy because she loves Nutcracker.
