Clyde

The start of our Christmas season was marked by the arrival of our elf, Clyde. Grace just adores him, and mourns him every year when he leaves for the North Pole :)

uh oh, Mama thinks she's a photographer now!

You don't have to know me very well to know that I am a big do-it-yourself-er! I love to fix up my house, my yard, sew, and I'm totally crafty. Lately, I've been working on my photography skills. Here are the two best pictures of my girls from last month...

Annie

A couple weekends ago, I took Grace to see Annie at the Saenger Theater downtown. We went to brunch and then to the show. It was lots of fun, and Grace has been singing "Tomorrow, tomorrow..." and "It's a hard knock life..." ever since!!

At the show, it seemed that much of the story was over her head, but in the days since, I've realized that she understand lots of it! She's still talking (and singing!) about it!

My Pumpkin and My Indian!

Grace insisted on wearing her Indian outfit from last year... with her Indian outfit she made at school this year over it...

We spent the day at Nana and Paw Paw's in Henleyfield...

The week before, we got to see my cousin Anne's girls, who were visiting from Indiana! When they moved there just a few months ago, I wasn't sure when we would ever see them again! It was great to get together!!

Sweet Cousins

Date Night!

Last week we went to Charity Ball, and by the way, it was a masquerade!! Although I was thoroughly disappointed that the fabulous chocolate fountain from last year didn't return, we had fun. Another picture, masked...
