Nutcracker

This past Sunday, Elle went through a rite of passage for most little girls: going to see The Nutcracker. Beth and Elle went with Beth's mom, sister and Elle's cousin Avery to see it at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland. It was a HUGE hit for the two girls. To say they were spellbound would be an understatement. Of course, everyone got dressed up. Here are two pics: the first is Elle and Beth, the second is Elle and Avery.

Elle and Avery look like two girls in the 1920s ready to hit a speakeasy after doing the proper "ballet thing." And yes, that is a compliment.

The two men of the household went over to Uncle Jerry's for wings, meatballs and football. A good time was had by all.
