surprise!

Remember how much Rachel wanted to see The Nutcracker last year?

Well, the commercials started on TV and the radio a week or so ago.  As soon as they started she started asking if we could go this year.  I told her we'd only go if we won tickets (there are different places that give away tickets, and I always enter). 

Last year I wanted to win them so badly, but we didn't.  Then my dad saved the day and bought her tickets so we could go see it.

Yesterday on facebook one of the places that gives away tickets (and the same place where I won tickets to go to the water park this summer) started their giveaway.  They had 10 sets of tickets to give away.  I emailed everyone in my family and asked them to enter for us.  They said they'd announce the winners at noon today.

And I just found out that my dad won!!!!

So we'll be going to see The Nutcracker! 

Now I just hope it's a day that we can actually go....they didn't say whether it's a specific day or whether we can use them any day.  Oh, she would be so devastated if we couldn't use them!  I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Hooray!!!
