This past weekend I took my two oldest boys to the Nutcracker Tea Party – what has surely become a fun tradition for us this time of year and we had such a festive time! They were the handsome-est boys in the place and had the attention and admiration of all the young princesses at…

With the arrival of Advent this year, my boys are so excited to begin with our usual traditions and even introduce a couple of new ones. Our staple Advent activity has always been our Jesse Tree.

This past Sunday the kids and I attended the much anticipated Nutracker Tea Party. The show has been sold out for weeks and I was so thrilled to help promote it as a sponsor. In exhcange I received a sponsor table for ten and we invited our friends Alexander, John Paul, and Cole and of…
