Our first event of the day was Addy’s basketball game.
Those dribbling skills are really coming along this year.
After lunch we piled into our vehicle with Dan doing the driving for the rest of the day. We were headed to Spokane for an afternoon performance of the Nutcracker. Granny Great bought the tickets as a Christmas present for each of us.
As soon as the show began there were no more photos. The sets and performances were top notch.
Addy appreciated the dance moves and JJ enjoyed the more acrobatic part of the show. We all enjoyed the show and were ready for dinner. We managed the extra traffic leaving the show and all gathered for dinner in North Spokane.
At dinner our selfie taker, Addy, stepped in for Auntie Lolo since Auntie was on the other side of the mountains.
Since it was a long day these two started fading and needed cuddles with mom.
We got home at bedtime for most of us! Thankful for safe travels there and back again.
It was a full day and we were thankful for good times with family and friends of family.

Sounds like a fun day for the whole family. Great photos.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
How fun! I love The Nutcracker and we thought about taking all the kids this year, but ticket prices were crazy and we’re not sure how the littlest would do for that amount of time. Probably fine, but we decided we’d wait until next year. Our December calendar is full so finding a date was tricky too. Glad you had a good time!
What a sweet way to spend a Saturday….with family, doing things that everyone enjoyed.
What a wonderful gift from Granny Great! It sounds like a perfect day!
…busy, busy, busy!!!
Such a wonderful time with your grandchildren! I like their matching sweaters.
Our youngest granddaughter is dancing a ballet solo in a Nutcracker production in December, and we will be so excited to see her perform.
What a great full day doing lots of fun things.
Looks like you’re getting in the holiday spirit with friends and family – cheers to sugarplum dreams!
What a delightful Saturday! I took my children to see The Nutcracker for many years. There was a school performance every year, and our homeschool organization was able to reserve a block of seats. Happy memories for us . . . and I am sure that this will be a happy memory for your family!
Sounds like a lovely family day. B x
Now that looks like it was a perfect day! Enjoyed the pictures.
