The Nutcracker

Saoirse, myself and five of our friends went downtown to attend the Nutcracker.

We lunched and had Kiddie Cocktails. Saoirse very much enjoyed Act I, applauding at all of the appropriate moments...and slept through Act II.

We look forward to this annual outing.

Zoo Lights

We enjoyed our annual trip to the Zoo Lights at Brookfield Zoo.

Cousins large and small joined us from the City.

Teacher Gifts

Working on gifts for ALL if our teachers. 12 all together...

Santa's Surprise

The Elf showed up with an early gift from Santa. We were very surprised! The Lorax! We can't wait to watch
(Thanks Grandma and Pap!)

Christmas Song Bird

Three Little Christmas Trees standing in a row.
Their hearts were very sad because they didn't have a home.
Then CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!
Down came the tree.
Off it went with a happy family.

At The Rink

Seamus is officially out (for now) but Finn is totally into hockey...much to my chagrin.  He is signing up for the next round and can't wait to be on a team.
