We left Kathleen and Pat's in Dundalk late Saturday afternoon and arrived in Brooklyn, NY around 9:30, just as snow was beginning to fall. We spent Sunday relaxing and hanging out with Omi, Aunt Katie and Aunt Nancy, and on Monday, Omi cooked a special sauerbraten dinner in honor of Nora's birthday. We were joined by Pop and Aunt Irene, and enjoyed an Entenmann's chocolate fudge cake for dessert while Nora donned the pink construction paper birthday crown she made with Aunt Nancy. Nora received some wonderful gifts, including a marionette Dubai-an camel from Daddy, a digital camera from Grandma and Grandpa, plastic Cinderella characters from Omi, and tickets to the show "Pinkalicious" from Pop, which we saw the Saturday after Christmas at the Bleecker Street Theater in the city. It was a surprisingly good show, and I'm still having trouble getting some of the songs out of my head! Nora had fun collecting the autographs of the cast members after the show. The autograph she wanted the most was of "the girl in the green dress," Pinkalicious' friend Allison. It reminded me of Peter Pan, when the only autograph Nora wanted was Michael's. Ah...she clearly sees the value of supporting characters who are often more interesting than the protagonists (at least, that's what my dad always told me whenever I came home crying after getting rejected for leads and getting cast in minor roles in my elementary school days).
