We have a tradition in our family where every year the girls in my family (this year Taylor's boyfriend Abbel came along) go to the ballet, the Nutcracker! My mom's neighbor girl was the star this year so it made it extra fun to watch.
"Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense it is a rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass...ourselves. And this is but progress."
