Christmas Eve

Preschool Christmas Concert

Her own chauffeur back to her classroom.

Lucy sang beautifully.

Someone saw her daddy.

And ran to him as he was filming.

Our favorite Miss Jeanine.

So thirsty after all of the singing.

Taking a bow.

Ballet

Lucy went to the Nutcracker and got to meet a few of the ballerinas afterwards.  It's her favorite story book and music in the car.

Lucy 's first ballet session ended, so Flora and I watched her class.  Lucy was great following the routine of their lesson.  She loves the very end where they put on a little costume and dance around.

A Boy and His Train

Fits perfectly around our tree!

Princess Tea at the Ritz

Lucy had a special day with her Godmother at the Ritz for a Princess Tea.  A mistake in time turned out to be a big score for Lucy, who also got to build a fancy gingerbread house!  Lucy certainly received the royal treatment.  She continues to tell me stories about the tea with ballet dancing Disney princesses and reminds me that the Ritz Carlton is a special place.

Old Town Scottish Walk Parade

At the pre-parade brunch in carriage house.

On the route.

Lucy and pals diving for candy.

Nickolas and Nathan, who each collected 43 pieces of candy.

What, there's a parade?  I thought we were here to collect candy.

A pack of Westies.
