Thanksgiving and the Nutcracker

Hey Girlies! Long time, no write- again! Oh, but I do love to visit your blogs and see what you are up to...

Here's a look at what we have been up to...

I was in a Thanksgiving Swap with my dear friend, Elise and she made me this AMAZING cloche! LOVE it! My pumpkins are so cozy inside their new home.:)

She also made me this FABULOUS pumpkin, a lovely tag and a sweet Scrabble set that spells out "grateful". I am so grateful for you, Elise! Thank you again for the goodies!

This is Mr. Turkey that Katie made for Thanksgiving. I got the idea here. Great ideas!!

Grandpa John and Grandma Patty spent Thankgiving with us and stayed for the Nutcracker. They are always so much fun!

There's Elise's cloche and Val's pumpkins gracing the table at Thanksgiving!

Another fun idea found here.

The Nutcracker was amazing. It was such an honor for Katie to take part in the production! This is Katie and her dear friend that came to see her perform.:)

Jeff bought flowers for both his girls.:)

I love this picture...

The "Katie twins" both were bumblebees!

I wanted so badly to take a picture of Katie in her costume, but parents were not allowed back stage. Sooo, I had to settle for pictures before and after the performance.

Nutcrackers displayed in the lobby...

Well, I was back stage for a second. SO MANY fabulous picture opportunities! Gorgeous costumes were everywhere! sigh... All I was able to get was a picture of the bumble bee tu-tu's and a sign showing where the Bees and Candy Canes got dressed before I was "escorted" out. I would never make it as a spy.

One last picture (below) of Katie and her friend, Lillibeth who was a Block. What an amazing experience...
