Christmas Eve at the ballet

Tom, Serafina and I took a special Christmas Eve trip up to San Francisco to see the San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker.  

Serafina wore her pretty dress.  

 We sat up on the balcony.

 We were high up, but also in the very first row of the balcony so there was nothing obsuring our view.

Serafina was tired and is a bit under the weather, but she enjoyed the show.  Tom and I were very impressed by the production.  It was beautiful and a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve day.  

 Back at home, it was time to get down to cooking and eating.  Here's Serafina decorating our annual butter cookies.

 Leo helped Tom de-bone the snapper.
