We gave her tickets to see The Nutcracker performed by the Carolina Ballet Company and the Carolina Symphony Orchestra.  We had to leave extra time for driving on the icy roads.

It was a great show, full of beautiful costumes and mesmerizing dancing &#8211; leaping acrobatics, a choreographed war between the rat and his mice and the nutcracker and his toy soldiers, and the enchanting &#8220;coffee&#8221; dancer &#8211; quite a hottie!
