The Nutcracker

On Friday night, Taylor and I attended the Nutcracker with her my friends, Pamela and Cyndi, and their daughters, Abbie and Ally. It was a night to remember! The girls were so intrigued by the entire production and were adorable to watch as they sat on their booster seats in their dresses with eyes wide, glued on the stage, and hands ready to clap for every moment of applause. It was a very fun night and put us all in the Christmas mood.

Prior to the show, none of us paid attention to where Pamela had parked her car. We are all so used to our husbands doing this that none of us even thought about it. When we left, we randomly guessed a floor (level 3) and continued walking up each level searching for her car. When we finally reached level 10, and there were NO cars, we really started to get worried. Taylor kept telling us that she remembered seeing the number 4 and that the doors were purple. Well, we had been on that floor, or so we thought, and didn't see the car. Cyndi suggested that we split up and look for the car. Neither Pamela or I were very excited to do this, but went along with it. I stayed with the girls, who were crying and scared, while Pamela ran down each level that we had already walked up and Cyndi took the elevator down. We finally found the car, and, sure enough, it was on level 4 with the purple doors! With all the bums sleeping on the sidewalk nearby, we were sure that one of us was going to get mugged or something...luckily, we all survived and on our way home had a good laugh about it!
