Nutcracker

At Dominic's school every year they put on the Nutcracker. Everyone is involved. It is so cute an a lot of fun! This year Dom was a ginger snap elf. They are the last number. He did a great job!

So in the video it took me a while to figure out where he was. He is on the inside in the front of the line going around Miss Sugar Plum. Then he is at the very end on the right side in the front for the rest. It's dark and I was trying to enjoy it as well as video. Maybe when we get the professional one we will post it.

Getting Tree and Decorating

This year we thought we would be on top of things and get the Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving. I would not advise this, by two weeks we had a crispy, smelly tree. I was so sad because we had found the perfect size and shape tree. Oh well, you live and learn. Next year back to procrastinating. At least it wont smell til after Christmas! But we did have fun picking and decorating. We found it.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween. On the 30th we went to the ward Halloween party. It was awesome that the Smiths and Yaya came too! Halloween was fun trick or treating, then to see Pappy and Yaya. With an end at Grandpa and grandma's house. Busy day, but a lot of fun! Ready to take on the town!
