Nutcracker

Yesterday we met Pam, Fred, Tanya, Jeff, Aly, and Emily downtown to see the Nutcracker. Laura decided to wear her Christmas dress, and to bring her doll, Laura, in her matching dress!

Karl wore his candycane-crushing-dinosaur sweater.

Afterwards, we had dinner at Vescio's in Dinkytown.

Today, Laura and Karl had their Christmas program at church. "He SENT the gift!"

Then we went to Matt's cousin Lori's house to sing Christmas carols and to celebrate Matt's uncle Wally's birthday.

It's a good thing John and Lori have a gym in their basement to keep the kids busy!

We're all wiped out after such a busy weekend, but we're happy there's a lot more fun coming up this week!
