Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Lily & Macy had fun in the snow.
Macy was ready to go in pretty quickly though!Lily loved catching the snowflakes with her tongue!

Lily & I went with Laura & Jennifer Dale to

see Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet's production

of the Nutcracker Friday night. It was a wonderful

mother/daughter event. They even had a tea party

before the ballet began.

When the show was over, we walked outside and

it was snowing. Can you see the excitement on

their faces? They were thrilled!
What a great way to kick off the Christmas season!

Running and playing!
