we're kissing fall away a bit earlier this year. the early snow and late thanksgiving have created extra eager christmas dollies! jon, amongst his annoyance of pre-thanksgiving christmas music and decor, is being much more flexible than in years passed  ;)

aunt laura's gift of her childhood dollhouse is the ultimate treasure for the girls. it's now standing proudly in all its christmas glory alongside our trees & garland-

santa has yet to respond to 2 dandurand girls- our fingers are crossed he receives their letters this season, too ;)

kindergarten pink day! eloise is so excited for every color day, but was especially prepared for this one-

sweet kindergarten friendships-

my mom & i spent saturday together & it was so so nice! jon took the girls for the day, and we brunched, were trampled by the 2 million people at the holiday mart, and ended up buying the entire store's holday inventory at home goods :) next year, we'll just start there...

pretties-

"i absolutely love christmas!" -kay thompson's eloise
