Christmas Photo Outtakes!

Merry Christmas! Many Christmas photos are on the way, but for today, since most of you have received our Christmas photo, I thought I'd remark on how hard it is to get three kids and two dogs to behave for pictures! Lots of shenanigans, and even more licking!!!

A Visit to Santa!

Graham Cracker Houses!

Cookies!

Bowling!

Rapunzel and Zoe!

Zoe came to opening night of "Into the Woods"! She liked being tangled in Rapunzel's long braid more than Dylan, it seems...

Stay With Me...

"I am no longer a child! I wish to see the world!" After Rapunzel says this to the witch in "Into the Woods", the witch sings a song trying to convince Rapunzel to stay with her. This was such a touching scene and to watch it with my daughter, who is no longer a small child, really tugged at my heartstrings!

Don't you know what's out there in the world?

Someone has to shield you from the world.

Stay with me.

Princes wait there in the world, it's true.

Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too.

Stay at home.

I am home.

Who out there could love you more than I?

What out there that I cannot supply?

Stay with me.

Stay with me.

The world is dark and wild.

Stay a child while you can be a child.

With me.

Rapunzel!

Mason played Rapunzel in "Into the Woods" this weekend! She did such a great job! Four more shows are scheduled for next weekend!

Winter Orchestra Concert!

There is More Than Just Cookie-Making!

Cookie making parties can't all be about cookie making, according to these boys! Being a pirate and romping in a bit of leftover snow must be part of the day as well!

Gingerbread Cookies with Friends!
