Kicking off Advent Season

Last weekend we took the girls to the ballet.  I was looking up Christmas events in our area and found a Christian ballet company that put on 'A Star of Wonder' ballet.  It was the perfect kick off to our Christmas season.  If we weren't hosting Thanksgiving, my Christmas decorations would be up already!

The first half was scenes from The Nutcracker and the second half was focused on the nativity and Jesus' birth.  The girls (especially Claire) were captivated from the very beginning.  Even before the show started... just seeing the theatre, the stage, and the curtain was exciting for them!

I let them wear their Christmas outfits.  It was fun to get dressed up and do such a big girl thing with them!  Justin was a great sport... he is the best Daddy for these girls!
