There must be something festive going on because I keep talking about all the nutcrackers in our yard. Yes, those would be woodpeckers.
We took Miss Ella to the Nutcracker at the local university this weekend. Her ballet teacher was dancing, and now she has a whole new vision of that woman; Sarah is a real ballerina. I was quite impressed by the performance. Ella and Emily were both completely caught up in the magical story, and both loved walking down to watch the musicians in the orchestra before the performance and during the intermission. Ella took Sarah a bouquet at the stage door but was fairly awestruck by seeing her in the full makeup.
Granny and Grampy were here for the weekend, and this morning Ella staged Dolly's fifth birthday party during breakfast. (Dolly is, ahem, a doll) She had five candles in a pumpkin pancake, and she sat at the table wearing a paper hat.
Last night was the third annual building of the gingerbread house. I'm so happy she is finally making shingles.

Lovely report ... and brought back memories of my taking Jenn to see The Nutcracker at the Philadelphia Academy of Music and how the dancers, in costume, came up the aisle before the show and spoke with the children. Jenn was so excited.
Jenn at 5! Wow, thanks for the trip back to the past :>)
Your children continue to grow more beautiful each day. Sorry I don't visit more often.
