Tea with Clara

This afternoon Evelyn performed in a shortened version of the Nutcracker ballet, called Tea with Clara.  Naturally, Julia and I had to attend the tea.

 Hot tea and apple cider were served, along with finger sandwiches and two-bite desserts.

 While sipping and snacking, we watched the 40-minute, narrated ballet show.  I think Julia really enjoyed feeling all fancy and elegant...and I enjoyed watching both of my girls.

 Today's event was Tea with Clara, so Julia had to have her picture taken with Clara.  This young lady is also the teacher's assistant in Julia's pre-ballet class, making this photo op extra-special.

 Let's not forget Evelyn, our soldier ballerina.  She said it was a little nerve-wracking performing in front of a small group today, since the audience was really close.  But she did a great job marching around and dancing/fighting with the mice.
