Merry Christmas 2012

Being the father of five children, people always ask me the same question in the month of December.  "So, what's your house like on Christmas?"  My loving response is always the same, "Have you seen the television show How the Grinch Stole Christmas... It's alot like Whoville."  All the noise, noise, noise, noise. . .  But I wouldn't have it any other way.

After all this, it's time to wake up the baby. . .

Winter Ballet ? ? ?

Just when you thought you had the routine down... things change.  This was the case for my six year old daughter this year with ballet.  Her ballet instructor decided to "include" the little kids in the winter show for the first time this year.  The show took place at a local artisan shop.  It was a small intimate setting that made for a nice show.  Although the pictures had to be taken from the seats, I think you'll appreciate how my little china doll enjoyed herself.  Her group danced to a piece from the Nutcracker pretending to be from China bringing gifts of tea. . .
