Sacramento Ballet’s Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy Tea

As my daughters have gotten older, I try to pick one big event to attend during the Christmas season with them

As a family we’ve ridden the Polar Express, and last year I took the girls on a girls weekend to San Francisco for the breathtaking San Francisco Ballet Nutcracker. This year, we’re going to try out Sacramento Ballet’s Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy Tea.

My daughters have been going out to tea with me since they were born. We used to have an adorable tea cafe nearby that we would frequent nearly every week. Two years ago, the sluggish economy hit the owners, and they closed. The girls had a difficult time remembering it no longer existed. We’ve missed having a place we called our own.

We’re very excited to have tea with the lovely characters from the Nutcracker this December. There’s still time to buy tickets. The Sacramento Ballet’s Nutcracker performs December 9th through the 23rd. The Sugar Plum Fairy Tea is December 11th. What Christmas outing traditions do you have? What are your favorites? Have you been to the Sacramento Ballet’s Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy Tea? What tips, memories do you have to share?

Merry Christmas. Cheers!
