"In 1995, I spent the Christmas holidays with
Mark and Suzanne's family. I had a wonderful time with the little kids.
The highpoint was our trip to see The Nutcracker. Aleksandra had the part of a little mouse in the play, along
with several other little mice. They were just as cute and delightful as could be. I enjoyed the whole production,
which was put on by Aleksandra's dance school. When we got home, we were lucky enough to get an encore performance
as Aleksandra, Mackenzie and a little 5 year old cousin tried to imitate the ballet dancing that was in the play.
They were really hot stuff, going through the antics of the toe-dancers. I enjoy those kids an awful lot."
