Rocking around the Christmas Tree

Joy to the World!

The Nutcracker

All who know Mollie, knows this is one of the highlights of her year.  We had a wonderful trip to the Nutcracker with all of the ladies of the family, thanks to Nana.  Mollie has been telling everyone who crosses her path about it ever since.  She even brought the playbill to school for show and tell this week.  She is going to be a Sugar Plum Princess when she grows up.  

Thanks Nana!

 

After the show, we walked across the street to the new park and hit up the drink cart while the girls ran around on the putting green and the sun set over the skyline behind us.

Chihuly

We took Grandma and Grandpa to the Chihuly exhibit at the Arboretum on this gorgeous fall day!

The Griswold's are BACK!

We loaded up the girls with their new knit hats from Grandma, and headed out to our lovely Texas tree farm.  The girls were so into the hayride and cookies, and even helped out a bit with picking the tree.  Somehow we ended up with a 12 foot behemoth that is scraping the ceiling of our house, and neighbors who think they live next door to the Griswolds!  Here are way too many pics of a perfect way to kick off the holidays!

 And the transformation of the house upon our return with the new Christmas pjs...

My sister tied me up with Christmas lights.
