2025 was jam-packed with shows. we did our last show at the theatre on the saturday before christmas and noah asked me to take his picture with one of the nutcracker decorations to mark the occasion. now we get a little break from shows until mid-january!

we celebrated christmas eve and christmas day with our family and noah sure enjoyed himself.
we went to my parents' house on christmas eve for a festive dinner followed by dessert and noah diving into presents from grandma and grandpa.
on christmas morning, noah had a good time finding something under the christmas tree at home. he played all morning and then everyone came to our house for dinner and dessert with even more present opening!

we saw this nutcracker balloon at home goods for $3.99 and we couldn't resist buying it for noah. noah is obsessed with nutcrackers since he has done so many nutcracker ballets with us at the theatre. we blew up the balloon with air at home and he was in love!
the next morning when he woke up he made the nutcraker have a bowl of cereal with us for breakfast because the nutcracker was hungry . . .
we took a trip to see the festival of lights on monday night and it did not disappoint! we were only ever there once before 3 years ago, so it was nice to return.
lots of arts and crafts time for noah at school, decorating a tape christmas tree with pom pom balls, fun time with pay-dough, and a special visit from elsa at school!
love, laurie
some more preschool snapshots of mr. noah painting, doing crafts, being silly, and dancing!

it's not even christmas yet, and we have had way too much snow! mom and dad have not been enjoying all of the shoveling, especially in the sub-freezing temperatures. mr. noah on the other hand has been loving running around in the snow!

last weekend the dance studio where i teach held their annual christmas recital. it was themed like the "home alone" movie this year and was so clever. all of the kids did such a great job! now we get a little break from dance classes until the beginning of january.
love, laurie
