So, this was an outing for Zhora, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Keith? What an awesome day. Love the ice chair pictures. Keith, Dad want to know if you have a special ballet knife? What was Zhora's reaction? Mom

Yep, just the 3 of us out on the town, taking in some cultural activities and had a really great time! Z loved the ballet, doubt she got the story line.. but then again it wasn't what i really remembered it to be so... but the costumes and music were great. She made friends with a little girl in front of us and by the end of the performance she was practicing her very own ballet arm positions (I'd say she nailed all 5 positions... look for her in next years performance) and pointing out that her snow boots were not the appropriate footwear for this dance style, saying she'll need some slippers like the ballerinas wear.
Going to the ballet together was our Christmas present for her along with donating to her school. She was sound asleep in the car before we were even out of Ithaca, with sugar plum fairies dancing in her dreams!
