Grace and I enjoyed a memorable day in New York City with the Klein girls today. We had our annual Christmas Ladies Day, and it couldn't have been better. We began our morning at Denis and Mary's with coffee and bagels, and then we piled in to Mary's truck and we headed to Midtown. We had an amazing time at George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. It was an unforgettable experience, because the Sugar Plum Fairy was played by Brittany Pollack. I used to babysit her when she was a little girl. Now, she's a phenomenal dancer, and we were so excited when she invited us backstage after the show. She gave each of the girls a pair of autographed pointe shoes, and we got some beautiful photographs with her on the set in one of her gorgeous costumes. After the show, we took a cab to St. Patrick's Cathedral, which always looks so festive at this time of year. Then, we went to American Girl. The girls were happy to look around and make additions to their Christmas lists, and Grace couldn't wait to see the Molly display! She's really hoping that Santa will bring her one this year. We had such a nice dinner at the American Girl Cafe, and we celebrated Genny's upcoming 7th birthday. Grace's entree was called "Bitty Bites," which complemented her Bitty Baby, Daniella (who also joined us today). This was such a magical day! I loved spending time with all of my loved ones. My Mom and I always enjoyed going into the City when I was a little girl, and I love making these memories with Grace and my Mom. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful women in my life!
