It was that time again--Miriam's favorite day of the year--the annual Nutcracker date. What a beautiful duo. I was a little nervous this year because instead of paying the big bucks for the Utah Ballet Company, I just sent them to the Egyptian Theater in Ogden where a local ballet academy put on the Nutcracker. Fortunately, Miriam was still thrilled. Timothy said he liked it better because he could see how hard it was to do the dancing--whereas, the professionals make it look easy.
This year was extra exciting because Timothy's mom got the girls fancy coats and Miriam was convinced she was a living, breathing American Girl Doll. All our girly hearts are in love with the coats. (Not to mention the green and brown coat Beckie got for Eli--oh my, it's adorable! And he doesn't have to wear Emeline's old pink one.)
Cowen was pretty thrilled that it snowed. He likes to shovel the backyard. I'm not sure why, but I don't mind as it keeps him occupied for hours. He and I are both ready for some
serious snow. At least this pretend snow forced me to double-check that I had boots/gloves/coats/hats for all children. Check. And check. Snow now, please.

Hey Andrea, I just wanted to tell that I saw that picture of you with your coat, and I love IT!!! So you. Your awesome. I miss calling you and harassing you everyday. Chao.
We had our hat-boot-glove check for the high school football game and I failed. So shopping this week. Also I love going to the Nutcracker too! And once my mom got this wonderful London Fog coat on sale- but they only had one and Becky and I got in a huge fight over it and then I cried a lot and said I didn't want a fancy coat if it would make Becky and I hate each other. I may have been an 8 year old drama queen.
I LOVE the coats. Very beautiful!
