With Visions of Sugarplums...

Yesterday we took EJ to see The Nutcracker... She has been taking tap/ballet for about 2 years now and we thought she might enjoy it.

She was absolutely thrilled! She loved the costumes, "snow" falling and got to see the "real"nutcracker... and she was starry eyed at the beautiful ballerinas. I love seeing all things Christmas through my children's eyes...

Everyone was all dressed up in their Christmas colors, and EJ was proud as a peacock in her Nutcracker sweater from Aunt Lee!


For months EJ has been practicing very hard with the Children's Choir at our church. They are putting on a musical next week... she is to be one of the angels at the manger. She knows most all the words to the songs by heart, and it's music to my ears when she sings them.

Cub is still a bit too young to participate in the play, but he has been having a lot of fun in the nursery with his friends while the bigger kids practice. He gets LOTS of attention there, and he loves it... sometimes he doesn't want to leave!
