The Nutcracker

I always knew that if I had a daughter that I would make it a Christmas tradition to go to the Nutcracker. My Mom did this with us, and I loved it!

We were able to share a ride with our neighbors Molly and sweet little Gwendolyn! I don't know if we will be going again next year since I think she was a little too young, but I am sure we will attempt this tradition again in a few years.

Her favorite part was "the scary mouses". My favorite part was getting to go out to eat with Molly afterwards!

Good Times!

This weekend was super fun and filled with good times! Saturday morning Annelise had a princess tea birthday party to go to. She loved getting all dolled up, and had a blast! Later on that night we went to a Christmas party were Annelise got to stay up very late and play with her friends! The kids even put on a show and I have a feeling it was her idea.

This is her the next morning!!! Need I say more?

After parting all night we went for a much anticipated train ride with the Borden's!

Julianna was not into the Santa.

The kids got train whistles from Santa and cookies from Mrs. Claus. Julianna loved the train ride, but she spent most of her time in the Borden side enjoying their snacks and affection!

Overall a great weekend!!! We are so lucky to have such great friends to create wonderful memories with!

Christmas Stroll

Annelise had a supper cute show in the downtown last weekend. She sang a Christmas song that is stuck in my head permanently!!!

This is her with some of her classmates getting ready to go on stage. They were all so excited I could not get her to stay still for a decent picture.

Annelise and Maddox loved the Bethlehem Village.

It was a great weekend with good friends! I love Christmas time with kids, it gets so much better every year!

Circus Friends!!!
