Nutcracker

Notice that Kate isn't happy in this picture.
That is because Ellie is carrying the beautiful purse that she wanted to borrow.

Kate is not very good yet at dress-wearing etiquette.
She's the kind of girl that needs shorts on underneath :)

We made it a family tradition to go and see the Nutcracker with the kids every year. I wasn't up for doing this alone, so I sent Ellie and Kate to watch it with a friend. Thanks Michelle!

They got all dressed up and had a great time. Ellie has been inspired to work even harder in ballet, so that she can dance like that someday :) Next year, hopefully we'll be able to go as a family.

I loved the new dressed they got this year. I think because they aren't the normal red/black.
