The Nutcracker!

For a special Christmas/Birthday gift, we treated Ellie to her first Nutcracker ballet along with Grandma and Ti-ti (Brett's mom and sister). It was also my (Meghan) first one too. It was a special in another way because Brett's Mom went as a child, and then took Ti-ti when she was old enough, and now she was able to go with her granddaughter as well.

Ellie of course was thrilled. The dancing, the music, the story- so enchanting and wonderful. Like a dream! The dancers were amazing to watch. Ellie's favorite was "The pink princess, and the purple princess, and the princesses with flowers on their dresses." She did not like the mice. "The mice were not nice. They were not obeying God. They took her nutcracker and wouldn't give it back."
