Ella Hits the Stage!

It’s official – Ella likes performance just as much as her parents.  This past Saturday we had one very excited and proud ballerina as she graced the stage for the first time!  It was time for Laura’s School of Ballet Christmas performance at the Hawthorne Festival and Christmas parade.  Ella Claire danced ever-so-carefully to 'Santa Claus is Coming to town.’ The unspeakable joy on her face when she came down from the stage was almost too much!  We were so proud of our ballerina!

Ella loves her Aunt Laura dearly.  They even look alike in this picture!

Audrey had to get in on the advertising action too!  We were waiting for our performance time by this old house.  Doesn’t it look great in pictures?!  The girls were mesmerized by the singers!

Following the performance was the grand Hawthorne Christmas parade :)  Ella loved yelling “Merry Christmas” and handing out candy to all the kids!  Her little legs were getting so tired by the end of the parade!
