Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker

Anticipation was just the beginning! The Nutcracker was absolutely amazing! The whole evening was wonderful! It was just perfect! The restaurant I chose was so so good! Locally grown food and cooked to perfection! 


The martini  "Hollidazzle" was so good at the end of dinner we asked for the menu back to write down the ingredients! We literally went to the liquor store the next day! When we get it figured out I'll let you know the recipe! 
 Eek I was so excited!!!!
 As we walk in and get our tickets scanned the guy tells us "Your VIP you have a gift!" WHAT? We're what? So we backtrack to a table where a lady hands us each a bag with a book and a nutcracker in it! Guess you get what you pay for:) We continued in and got a glass of wine, found our way through the beautiful hall; exquisite painting and woodworking, to our seats!

That were AMAZING! Could we have been any closer?! Okay we were like little kids it's true it was so so much fun!!!
There is nothing like Ballet. The pure elegance, power, grace and beauty as they float effortlessly across the stage, all while telling a story without a word being spoken! Breathtaking! 
When we came out.... it was SNOWING! The city was so pretty with the trees lit up and the snow falling! I could seriously do this every weekend! It was a perfect evening!

Happy second week of Advent!
