Shane 'n Dane, watching Polar Express 3-D at our little annual Young Women's Santa's Workshop babysitting service, first Tuesday in December.
That's good stuff, right there. Jealous much?
Clear Sky Choir's blondest and most beautiful soloist. Can't say it enough: what a blessing to live in a community where our kids are treated to the arts as part of their curriculum, and that within that curriculum are offered music of both sacred and secular traditions. They also belted out "Dealing with the Reindeer", a rap in which it was painfully obvious that for all its strengths, Douglas County ain't a hotbed of diversity. Hearing those kids say 'Yo!' was nothing shy of painful.
Grandma K's great holiday treat is to take her grandkids to Disney's ice shows, one of my own favorite memories from when I was at least Grace's age. Pre-show they had a Princess gown display, and my ladies got a nice sneak-preview of Tiana and all the Princess and the Frog madness that undoubtedly will hit our house in the coming weeks.
Ariel and Eric. Awwwww...
Mick and Min. Awwww...
Cousin Colette, Grandma K, Eve and Grace at the outdoor mall Northfield @ Stapleton, where they offer an amazing outdoor light display of moving lights set to the music of Trans-Siberian Orchestra arrangements. Even more amazing to me: all this Christmas merriment at a place where for most of my life only existed landing strips for the airport. Nothin' changes but the changes, baby.
Gracie's newest ornament: only took a moment before she broke one of Cinderelly's arms.
Only one other thing could be more perfect: competitive swimming Barbie. Maybe next year.
The fellas, Qui-Gon, Darth Maul and Obi Wan. Holy Star Wars!

It looks like a right regular Christmas wonderland over on that side of the mountains. Your kids are pretty lucky, that's what.
Also: cute pic on the cards! And the flu symptoms guide—handy information! :) Thanks!
Looks like everyone is ready for frolick and play this season!
