In December

Early in the month, Grace and Heather were treated to a show at the Myerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore to see a children's version of the Nutcracker ballet.  Since Grace is now an accomplished ballet dancer (for a three year old), she really appreciated all the dancing and costumes!

Before the show, the guests were allowed to test out some instruments and visit with a real penguin.  Thanks to Grandma and Pa Deterding for taking us and getting the Christmas season off to a great start!










Then it was off to the tree farm to find our Christmas tree.  Grace was a huge help as Steve began sawing:




Then it was time to deck the halls and eat our special Christmas-tree decorating "dinner".  Of course, Leah did more snacking than decorating...





The girls always enjoy drinking sparkling cider from glass goblets:
