So my mom thought it would be fun to start a tradition of taking the girls to the Nutcracker. They were so excited, talked about what they were going to wear for weeks, my mom bought a wooden nutcracker for them to start a collection and we prepared by watching the "Barbie Nutcracker" more than a few times! So the day came, and when my mom came down to pick them up Lily had just woken up and EVERYTHING was wrong, from her dress, to her tights to her shoes (if she had her way she would wear her camo gear...more on that later) so needless to say it was not a good start. I of course didn't get the privledge of going because of Jalen, but let's just say it might not make the "tradition" list! Between Ellie asking why none of the ballerinas were talking, the girls fighting over my moms lap, and while they were on her lap making her give them "scratchbacks" (yes, that's what they call back scratches) they were ready to go at the intermission! Yet, when they got home and I asked them how they liked it they claimed it was great...and Ellie wanted me to watch her walk around on the kitchen floor on her toes for a good couple of days - she claims it's "really easy"! So maybe Grandma will forget how exhausting the experience was by the time next Christmas rolls around!

I loved the pictures and delightful story you told of all the girls. I agree, Lily is really something else, made from a unique mold! And it is really too bad you can't capture Ellie singing one of her Hannah Montanta songs, she has the moves of a 16 year old, kind of scary!
