The Nutcracker

My mom took the middle boys to the Nutcracker.  We had so much fun.  Winston's favorite part was the mouse king.  I had not been in a long time and it was more amazing than ever!  Thanks mom for the special Christmas treat!

Wesley and Winston tried to wear the ties but they came off quickly!

Afterwards, we went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner.

Christmas

We had a great holiday!  It started off early spending one evening with the Bachali family laughing and playing Settler's of Catan.  Christmas Eve was celebrated with the HELL's (Hunter, Ellis, LaPlante, LaPlante) at my house.  We had a soup and salad bar, four different kinds of soup!  We all performed in our first annual Christmas talent show.  The kids all got new pjs from my mom.  Here is the annual picture.  

Nora is looking so old!  I am waiting for the Christmas photos from Beckie as she took all the pictures on Christmas day.  I will post about our day when I have access to those photos.
