Breaking the Rules

Tonight was Emma's ballet recital. They did the "Nutcracker" and she was a party girl and a candy cane. After all these months of practices and lessons, we're all settled in to watch the show. Of course we want to capture this moment (we've paid for in lessons and tickets none the less) with pictures and video. The natural thing to do, right? Right before the show starts, the instructor marches over to my grandma and says, "I need you to put that away. No Pictures!! No Video!!"

Uh, excuse me! There is no way I just paid $$$ for dance lessons and $10 bucks a ticket and not get something to show for it! Now there may be some dance people or show people who are nodding their heads in agreement with the no media thing but come on! They're kids! My kid!

Sooooo, we broke the rules...

We were at least discreet about it and turned the flash off but by golly, we got proof our daughter was in the "Nutcracker"!!

                                                                    So sue us..

She's too darn cute to not get pictures. I'm justified!
