Weekend Update

Friday night Max and I had a mommy and Max date. We went to the restaurant of his choice and he was super excited for this.


For our date night, we also picked up ingredients to make Christmas cookies this weekend.


We went to see the Nutcracker this weekend and I was hoping to make it a family tradition. Andy and I decided to get Max excited for it, but let him decide if he likes it or not before we force him into this annual tradition. St. Nick did bring Max a Nutcracker book that played the music throughout to assist in getting him excited for the ballet. He was super excited, but he didn't realize what he was getting himself into. I mean we were going to the ballet, not a Paw Patrol Live concert, which might be a little bit of a comparison that I might have made.






We went, he experienced it and he only enjoyed two scenes: the sword fight and the Bon Bon girls.
He started out excited for it, but he got bored quickly. I believe it is because there is no talking at the ballet. He was a good sport about it though. We stayed the whole time and he knew how much I wanted to go, so afterwards he told me that he liked the Nutcracker. I said "Buddy, you really didn't like it, did you?" He said "No, I really didn't." It was sweet of him though to pretend since he knows how much I like the Nutcracker. We will see if we do it again next year as a family or if I just go with some friends.
