Annual Girls' Trip to the Nutcracker

 For the fourth consecutive year, which means it has become a tradition, Sarah and the girls headed to see the Nutcracker.  This year we went to the Singletary Center on the campus of UK, for a performance by the Bluegrass Youth Ballet.  This provided an extra bonus of seeing a couple of ballerinas that we knew through soccer and other activities.

 Because the performance was on UK's campus, Sarah did her best to get some candid shots of the girls in their Christmas attire.  Surprisingly, the girls were in great moods and willing to entertain this request.  It also made it nice that it wasn't too cold, so the photo shoot did not require too much bribing.

 We know that we are Callie and Reese's parents, but we think that these girls are growing up to be beautiful young ladies.  And when they are in good moods and smiling we don't want to hang out with anyone else.

This year Reese certainly caught the Christmas bug, and one day when the girls were out of school she was determined to turn herself into Rudolph.  The end result won't win any costume competitions, but it is pretty darn cute.
