cultured cousins

not only do addy & amelia have built-in best friends (each other) at home...they also have their 3 cousins.

 it only took 13 pictures to get one where they all look mostly happy.
(this was thanksgiving day) 

& here the older 4 are on the lodi outlet mall train

very excited, right?

conductor adeline

& finally, the nutcracker! yes, my mom tracked down a fairly well priced performance of the nutcracker & we were off!


adeline ran into this ballerina in the hallway & suddenly became speechless & awe-struck.

amelia made it most of the way through the entire performance (!!!) & adeline sat mostly still, happy to be alive & watching the dancers. *thankfully* this theater allowed popcorn & drinks--i'm not sure we would have made it without this caveat.

 hats made by grandma sue's friend, mary. festive, eh?

going to pick out a christmas tree

addy was much happier than this picture may lead you to believe

& the past 13 days have flown by...but! i think i am 90% done with christmas shopping & 100% stressed. argh! 

i'm hoping there's more to come later...but right now 3 kids are pawing at me, one jumping on my lap, one trying to type numbers in between each word...
