The Nutcracker Ballet

Today the Blakesley girls in Wisconsin had a date to lunch and the Ballet.


Mary was as pretty as a Christmas tree!


Yummy skittles during intermission:)
The girls went with a group of friends from church and ballet class.


For some reason, Mary's favorite part was when the little brother breaks the Nutcracker, and then when Clara throws her shoe at the rat king. I'm sure it has nothing to do with me, her little angel brother, who would never do such a thing... (Too bad in the ballet, she MISSED him this afternoon... but for some reason, he fell down dead anyway:)


I got to go sledding with DAD!

We went to the big sledding hill at the elementary school.
We didn't go as fast as a Choo-choo train, but I keep telling everyone that we had to do this: "blah!" because Dad slowed us down with his feet the first time, and we go snow in the face!

Mary, you look so beautiful. I wish I was there for your girls day out. Lucas wishes that Ben could come play with us here--its warm-ish, and rainy, and we play with lots of trains. We can't wait to see you.
