The Waltz of the Sugar Plum 3 Year Olds

It has been way. too. long. since we posted to this little blog-o-sphere. It seems that our children usually drive us to post to this little space.  And, here we are... ONE WEEK til Christmas!  And, today is our little ballerina's 3rd birthday!

With the Nutcracker Suite playing in the background, our home welcomed G's little preschool buddies for the Boots and Ballerina Bash for this little 3-year-old to be.

Really, I don't have too many words... just pictures to share.  And, of course, some 3 year old stats.  G is in the 65% for height and 55% for weight (wish I was so lucky).  She's got ALL her colors down and is known in her preschool as the child that organizes the markers and crayons from pink and purple ... to all other colors.  She LOVES dancing and singing - LOUDLY.  Let's be honest, folks, G is no quiet child.  She has a beautiful gift of projection, which she often loves to use with her brother and in the car.  About 3 weeks ago she switched from using "My" to "I"... we are a little sad to no longer hear expressions like "My hungeeyyy", "My hav a go POOOTTTTYYY". She loves to take care of her baby dolls and play with cars and swords, after all, she has an older brother.
This is the Birthday Girl, getting ready for her guests to arrive!


Here we are pinning the tutu and boots on the Ballerina!

And, Daddy reading Miss Lina's Ballerinas to the crew:

And, finally, the cake and singing:

And, one last shot of the Ballerina Birthday Girl!!!
and, let's be honest, this pretty much says it ALL...

All this while the London Symphony Orchestra played Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.  It was a great day!!
