Merry Christmas

We loved having Nanny and Grandpa Mike here

to celebrate Christmas with us.

Highlights of their visit include seeing

The Nutcracker in Fort Worth,

watching the girls sing in the Christmas Eve service,

driving around town to look at all the holiday lights,

baking sugar cookies, watching lots of movies

and of course opening presents Christmas morning. 

Highlights do not include Grandpa's stomach bug

or my never ending cough. 

Continuing my childhood tradition of
seeing The Nutcracker.
How pretty are these dresses?
And the little girls wearing them, for that matter.

Brunch with our friends
included gingerbread house decorating

The roller blades were hands down
her very favorite gift this year.
She's barely taken them off since
