The Nutcracker

Hello all, its Amy here. It has been years, literally, since I posted so I won't bother with any sort of catching up effort but just pretend that I have been consistently blogging all along. Thanks Tim for asking me to do that Christmassy question thing. I'm not actually going to do it, but at least it got me posting!

We went to Sydney on the weekend for the long anticipated, super special, going to the Nutcracker with Uncle Tim and Aunty Shona evening. I was a little bit nervous that it wouldn't meet expectations, but I needn't have been. Tim and Shona had thought of everything and, as you can see from all their faces, it was so exciting. (I can't make the photos go where I want them to, please excuse the odd format.)

Tim wanted Joss to have something for dinner that she wouldn't have eaten before...... so they had emu pizza. When the pizzas came Joss lost her nerve and went for the tandoori chicken, but she did eat a piece of emu! (It doesn't taste like chicken, more like beef). Shona had a new dress on and looked beautiful. Mum had bought Jossie's new dress too so she felt like a princess. The ballet was spectacular with wonderful costumes and Tim had Haig's chocolate frogs for Joss to eat at intermission. It was, as far as she was concerned, a perfect evening.


Having done that quick trip to Sydney I am thankful that we are staying home for Christmas this year. I will miss the family but definitely not the driving. The other photo, which I would insert here if I knew how, is of the cute cousins who won't be seeing each other at Christmas. I really think everyone should consider moving to Wagga.
