Christmas Morning!
This year Christmas was very laid back for our family. Which for a change was really nice. After we opened gifts the kids headed to their rooms to go through their things while Arron and I stated dinner. It was just our family this year for dinner so we got to be a little more laid back with that. It was a nice slow paced day for a change.

Victorian Christmas
The kids went to the NH farm Musuem for a victorian Christmas field trip.
They made candles checked out the farm animals and learned about a 1900's christmas. Can't say it was the best field trip but they had fun.

That time of the year again
Once again Madison was in the Nutcracker. Thankfully they only had two shows this year. And it was done in one day. She's been in the Nutcracker for the last six years. And has done fourteen show of just the Nutcracker. She looks forward to it every year. Not sure that we do.
