Reina is a prodigious artist. She brings home sheet after sheet full of all of the ideas floating around her brain: the entire plot of the movie Frozen, a drawing of her family including her pet ants (a story for another day), Tootsie and Trigger, ice cream, etc. While we were in Florida, she drew her first ballet picture for Grandma Pauley. As the date nears for her big recital in May, she has ballet on the brain. Here's her latest work:

| Reina's ballet masterpiece |
We have the audience in their seats. They are so captivated by the performance that their heads are floating in the air. The yellow squigglies on the side of the page are the doors and the stairs naturally. Notice the ballerina leaping through the air? That's Reina. The quadrupeds on either side of the dancers are unicorns accompanied by a herd (?) of Easter eggs. The gentleman in the red hat is not Abraham Lincoln, as I erroneously assumed, but rather a Nutcracker. Well it is a ballet painting! I think it compares well to this one -
