~The day after Thanksgiving I flew home to surprise Brooke for the Nutcracker. Only Mom, Dad, Auntie Cathie, and Lynn knew I was coming. After Act 1, I ran backstage and attacked Brooke. She didn't realize it was me at first, for she knew I was working and it is rather difficult to get time off. I had even called her from the plane (once it had landed in Portland) to wish her good luck/break a leg and to let me know how the performances went. She thought I was on lunch/break still in Florida. Brooke was a beautiful Snow Queen and an elegant Sugar Plum. I can't believe Aunty Bette made the SP tutu! Way to go Aunty! I loved seeing my SQ tutu put to use again. Brooke looked gorgeous in it. I was able to see all 4 performances and stay a few days longer than planned thanks to Tonya picking up the Monday shift that was the only thing standing in my way of staying longer. I was able to see Kirsten for a bit. I'm sooooo glad I did! I went to Zoo Lights with my family. We met a variety of characters, including Rudolph. Grandma told them all what I do for Disney without being secretive and with a kid right there. I of course corrected her immediately. Silly Grandma :) I flew back to Florida Tuesday. As sad as I was to leave home, I was definitely glad to come back.
~Today I had the good fortune of hanging out with Mr. and Mrs. Incredible (Bob and Helen). We had so much fun hanging out!!!! I really want to do it again very soon! A family came with their kids dressed as Incredibles. The dad introduced them as Jack Jack and Dash. Helen about died. Unfortunately, Helen had a few issues with her super suit today. These issues weren't major, but they definitely occurred more than once...3 times to be exact. All I can say is...she needs to lose a little butt cushion. A women of her abilities should not have that big of a tushy. Maybe she should enroll in Crystal's Ballet Butt Camp to work off the padding :)
~Friday and Saturday I get to be in the filming for the Christmas Parade! I am Ballon Carrier 10. Look for me on TV!
Lots of Love
~Crystal
