The Nutcracker

It was our first time seeing The Nutcracker and we loved it!

Taking the Amtrak 

 We met up with our neighbor Helen at her hotel

They were thrilled to see Puppy

 

Traveling girl!

Happy Friday!

It's a hoodie, converse, braids kind of day!  And they're super excited Mimi & Papa are babysitting tonight!

Our Christmas Tree

Browsing

Running to the tree they think is the one.  It certainly stands out.

The one

The one they wish they could have!

Happy December!

The girls were so excited to see Ms. Kringle this morning!

A few days ago, they told me that our elf might come if our tree was up so they went to the attic and came back down with their little pink tree!! 

After taking this picture, I noticed the tree was looking a little sad so I gave it a little TLC!
