The Real Meaning of Christmas

The Nutcracker

The Cavalier and the Sugar Plum Princess

The Snow King and Queen (Ashlee's favorite!)

Miss Ginger (Ashlee's 2nd favorite... maybe 1st. It was a tye!)

Clara

Ashlee and I were able to attend Chamberlain's "The Nutcracker". All because she filled up her jewel jar by making good choices. I am so proud of her and what a fun time it was.

After Clara saved the Nutcracker and went to meet the Sugar Plum Fairy, Ashlee would consistently ask me "What dance is this?" It was neat to see her interest in the ballet and the story. I was surprised at how professional and how great the dancers were. It was just as good as a professional level performance.

We went to the sugarplum tea party afterward where Ashlee was able to meet the dancers, have her picture taken with them and get their autograph. Most of the dancers kept saying how cute Ashlee was; I am pretty sure she was the shortest girl there. I had such a fun time with her. She is my little buddy.

We made these for Thanksgiving dinner. They were a hit with the kids. Thanks to Noggin TV. They have cute ideas on the website.

A little of this... a little of that...
