This year Ally was in the Nutcracker. Her ballet school performs it every Christmas season and she decided that this year she was ready to commit to the production. She was an Arabian Princess that Clara and the Nutcracker see on their way to see the Sugarplum Fairy. She did a great job and is TOTALLY doing it again next year.
Evie and I had fun hanging out together most of the day at the Egyptian Theater. We had to get Ally there early and decided to stay and save seats for our family members who were coming to attend the Matinee performance.
While we were in line to get into the Auditorium Evelyn took her very first pictures with my camera. I had a whole bunch of pictures of random people, the floor, my shoes, doors, posters on the wall. She took a bunch of me as well. I frequently was missing either my forehead or my chin. However, she also got these two awesome shots of me. Awesome.
The Skidmore girls came to watch.
Janet, Wendy, Becca and little Janet also came to see the Matinee

Nate and Ethan went to the Evening performance after being busy with a scout overnighter and fundraiser. Ryland is going to be attending the Matinee on Monday with his school class. Such a fun Christmas activity.
