We get invited by Stephen's former law firm, Baker Botts, to the Houston Ballet's presentation of the Nutcracker at the Wortham Center each year. Usually we are unable to attend, but this year Stephen took Sophie and Bella. They had a blast! In addition to having orchestra level seats, they got to go on stage after the performance to meet the cast and directors, get pictures and autographs, and enjoy a spread of food and goodies in a private party put on by the law firm! Too bad all Stephen had was his Blackberry phone to capture the events. It doesn't take very good pictures. Oh, well, it still helps preserve the fond memories.
There is a funny story that goes along with the picture above. Stephen didn't notice that there was a line for the kids to have their picture taken with the Sugar Plum Fairy. So he told Sophie and Bella to run up to her for a picture. After they were already up there, he saw that there was an official photographer and a line of about 30 people waiting on the other side. The photographer and coordinator were flustered, but instead of kicking them off, they let them pose for the pictures. Needless to say, the people waiting patiently in line were giving Stephen dirty looks! We haven't received the official photo yet from the firm, but since we cut, I am not holding my breath waiting for it!
