we've had a snow day [blizzards are my faaavorite weather!], betsy & gmom had a date to see rudolph the musical at crown center [which meant eloise & i had our own special lunch date!], miss cinnamon arrived from the north pole [this is about as far as my creativity will fly this season ;)], clara's dream camp at dancing school with a special appearance by the sugarplum fairy herself & one of my very favorite holiday traditions- our family day at crown center & union station for peppermint ice cream, holiday window shopping & seeing home alone on the big screen! [which was going awesome until about an hour into the movie when eloise took a handful of betsy's popcorn & subsequently spilled water into said popcorn. a quick, haul-ass exit was made by mom & a pissed off 2 year old...]

finishing touches are being made on our master bath over the next couple of days- can't wait for alllll the tiny rocks to be vacuummed out of the carpet for good!

 this week brings lucy's kindergarten christmas program & a special visit from santa at daddy's office! happy decembering!!

xoxo,
