Lucy's Dance

 Lucy's dance class, called Tiny Broadway, also had a Christmas time performance. 

Not as many photo ops during this one, but I managed to squeak a few in.

Naughty List (or phonetically spelled: Note List)

Lucy has decided to help Santa out this year by creating her own Naughty List. Here's an example of it works: I tell Lucy to clean up her mess; Two marks on the list beside Tracie's name. It's a bit hard to decode , but it is interesting to see how many marks Lola and I have collected. 

(Lola & I are on the left. Erik & Lucy on the right.)

It looks like nothin' but sticks and coal for us!

Fortunately, Erik and Lucy seem to be in the clear this Christmas.

A date with her boys

Bop Bop and Gunnar took Lola to ballet class a few weeks ago. She had a wonderful morning with her boys! If only I had had my camera with me when Sonny and Gunnar demonstrated what Lola had learned in class. Two grown men doing arabesques and releves in my den. 

Now that would have been a photo!

At the Zoo

 Did we find tigers and lions and bears at the zoo? Not exactly. But we did have a blast discovering leaves shaped like butterflies and elephant's ears as well as loads of silly friends to share in the fun!

Homestead Farms in the Fall

We enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon at Homestead Farms with some of our favorite ladies: Lauren, Lily and Imogene. We city girls began our visit with an exhilarating hayride which carried us to a pumpkin field. Lily and Lucy also discovered corn growing in a near by field. Another hayride took us back to some delicious carmel apples. (Lola had some trouble parting with her carmel, as you can see!) Lastly, we visited all the farm animals. What a great day!
