Happy New Year and Many Thanks!

Hi, guys! Hope you are enjoying a lovely holiday!  Last night my husband and I took our niece Amanda to see The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center here in NYC.  It was a delightful time and truly a memorable evening.  Amanda is 8 and has been taking ballet since she was 3 and has wanted to go see a ballet for a while.  I waited on taking her as I wanted her to be able to remember the first time she went and to be able to appreciate all the beauty and grace.

One of the highlights was a dancer who was taking photos with guests.  Amanda got her picture taken and was able to "strike a pose" with her.  It was so special.  I love how the picture turned out.

If you live in NYC or plan to spend time here during the holidays some time, I would highly recommend you take in this wonderful ballet.  It is truly remarkable.  Amanda and I are both having a hard time picking out our favorite part.

I wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year!  Thanks for all the kindness and encouragement you have given me this year starting my blog.  You have made 2012 a great one and I look forward to sharing and learning with you next year!
