I love the dance pictures! Wishing you and your sweet family a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAnd a partridge in a pear tree! Whew!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Nutcracker is at Kroger, right? The girls walked in ahead of me--I think I forgot my list in the car--and when I walked in, one of them was operating the mouth while the other was saying (in a robotic voice) "Welcome to Kroger." They are so weird. I don't know where they get it.
Great photos! I love the one of Gracie jumping with the chair in the background!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have been busy but happy :-)
Merry Christmas!
Love all the pictures. That last set of dance photos is great!
ReplyDeleteYeah, we're jam-crammed full here right now. I HAVE to go to town today and pick up a few last minute things. DREADING IT!
Have a great Christmas!
What a great way to wrap up your pre Christmas activities! Your writing style really had me feeling the busyness, too (that's a compliment!)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! I love the ones of the girls making hearts at the bottom. :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas H-Mama!!
Honestly had to remind myself to breath reading your post!!!;)
ReplyDeleteGlad the fam is well and enjoying the Christmas season, busy as it may be!:D
Funny. I just did a similar post about our crazy hectic life.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Christmas crowds either. I try to avoid it at all costs. Of course, we have to eat so I still have to brave the grocery store crowds but only for just what we need and some surplus for the next week and then it's dashing out the door on the way home to freedom and relaxation. Well, sort of relaxation. ;0)
Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas! Enjoy that little family of yours!
