Nutcracker Ballet and other Xmas Spirit

Yes, last night we actually went to the ballet...we took Alexis to see the Nutcracker and she absolutely loved it. This was a new experience for us getting all dressed up and staying quiet for a full performance (she still hasn't sat through a whole movie). Alexis did a bit of whispering to me, but she never asked to go to the bathroom and she never said anything really loud. Eric was another story...he wasn't too thrilled and it was hard to get him dressed up...well, he didn't really get dressed up (Steelers jacket and combat boots)...as they say, you can dress them up, but you can't take them out...well, I can't even dress him up.


On another note, I was finally able to download the Santa pictures from Bass Pro Shop:
This morning, Alexis decorated the tree in her room...we made it from the trimmings off of the big Xmas tree in the living room. She was so proud...

And this morning, Alexis and I made gingerbread cookies...she cut out a few Mickey's and few reindeer and then she decided to make "worms." Mommy ended up cutting most and after the first batch came out, guess who starting eating...
