Christmas daddy/daughter date

 For Evie's daddy-daughter date in December, Chris and Eve went to the local production of the Nutcracker.  It was so cute.  She wanted to wear her new dress, tights, and shoes.  Then we did her hair in a special way and added some of mommy's sparkly stuff, like clips and necklace.  She was so cute and very excited.  We even gave her a little perfume to smell nice.  It was so great to see her having so much fun and she hadn't even gotten to the playhouse yet.

her lovely hairdo

 isn't she so pretty?

she loves! these special dates.

It was so funny - Chris said the production wasn't amazing because it was mostly local kids, but they did a good job and of course, the audience was very supportive.  Evie really enjoyed it.  She loves ballet and honestly, she would've participated except for the performances and practices on the Sabbath.  Chris said it was almost like watching a recital because the local parents were cheering after their children appeared.  Cracked me up.  At least there was a lot of support right?

Evie didn't care if it was the included the most amazing ballerina ever, she just liked that it had one.  She talked about it for several days afterward.  It was a great experience for all involved.
