Happy OLD NEW YEAR to everyone who know what I mean 😉

We are just back from our little trip to “The Summit” at Snoqualmie where we and our friends enjoined our first NORDIC Cross-country skiing. Yeah, we realized that we are so beginners that we just played at small loop near restaurant LOL. Anyway, we’ve got a BLAST and definitely hooked! But Oh my, we were REALLY surprised by Kristin (our 6th year old daughter) and her good friend Dasha! I can’t believe how fast kids learn! Less then in a hour of practice they looked as experienced cross-country skiers (in our eyes at least 🙂 )

Oh my! Even if from beginning I decided to keep this site like knitting/crocheting/craft place only, I can’t resist to share about The Nutcracker ballet presented by International Ballet Theatre we visited today. What’s an Awesome ballet and event for whole family!!! “With childlike awe and anticipation, The Nutcracker ballet rings in the holiday season like no other event. From within Clara’s dream, we are reminded to live life with imagination and wonder, as if we are children once again. Passed through generations for more than a century, The Nutcracker ballet preserves the classical artistry first created by Tchaikovsky and Petipa in St. Petersburg in 1892. IBT performs The Nutcracker ballet in its traditional Russian style with extraordinarily beautiful costumes and tremendous pageantry, including exotic Arabian dancers, a fierce battle scene with life like cavalry, soldiers and giant mice, elegant corps de ballet snowflakes, and of course with the beautiful ballerina, Clara, and her handsome prince (the world renowned dancers, Maria Makarenko and Dmitry Zavalishin from St. Petersburg).” We are in full LOVE with!!!
