Nutcracker 2016

The Nutcracker is becoming a tradition for us. This was the third time that Sophie has seen it, and Lauren's first. This year we had a special treat and got to go back stage to meet some of the dancers during intermission. I'm not sure who was more excited - me or the girls.

The dancers were really great. This woman was complimenting Lauren on her dress. 

Christmas Cookies

We had a Holiday-filled day today. This morning we made some Christmas cookies (some pics below), then went to Sophies very first Nutcracker, which she was very good for, and then watched Frosty the Snowman. We're ready for Christmas!

 Melting all of the ingredients together

 Rolling the dough

 Cutting out a Christmas tree

 Decorating (where more went in her mouth than on the cookies)

The final product!
