The Nutcracker...a gift from my Sugarplum

This Christmas (actually just before) I was the lucky recipient of a thoughtful gift from my sweet hubby! After many years of requesting, this year he surprised me with a wonderful evening out at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House to enjoy an evening performance of The Nutcracker!

It was everything I had hoped!! The beautiful dancing, the enchanting story, the lavish sets and amazing costumes, the perfect music...it was all so very wonderful and dreamy!

I have always loved dancing - of any kind - but what little girl hasn't dreamed of being a ballerina? I always wanted to take ballet and learn to dance on my toes as gracefully as they did tonight! I am amazed at their skill and control. I am in awe of their flexibility and sculpted bodies - their gracefulness is truly a sight to behold!

I did eventually take a ballet class...in college! It was really fun and besides learning some steps and movements, my favorite part was getting my very own pair of ballet slippers! ...Never did get those toe-shoes though!

I would love nothing more than to make this a family holiday tradition for years to come. Whether it be The Nutcracker, Colorado Symphony, or any other Christmastime performance - I think it would be a wonderful experience to share with my family!

Working on another redesign...

A work in progress...stay tuned!

Case of the Missing Flashlight

I use a small Maglight Flashlight by my beside to read at night in an effort to not keep my hubby up with the lights on when he's already gone to bed...for my birthday he had promised me a booklight but for now, this is what works. Or should I say worked until it came up missing...

I went to crawl in to bed the other night, got snuggled up with a good book, reached for my flashlight and - gone. I got up, searched high and low, inside and under anything I could think of. Where could I have left it? Even after Justin's help looking that night we could not find the missing light. We went to bed - unable to read for the night without it, and I was left tossing and turning trying to think of where it might have gone to.

The next day we spent half the day looking for it again. I get so frustrated when I'm looking for something and can't find it. My condo isn't that big - how do things just disappear?

Several hours later I was preparing dinner in the kitchen. I went to grab something out of the freezer only to find this:
What in the world? Well, along came the culprit... All I could do was laugh because I know my sweet Kenzie can't open the freezer so she must have slipped it in right under my nose the night before. It was so cold and the light wouldn't work when I tried to turn it on.

...Once it thawed out, it did work again! ...Still waiting on that booklight.

Babe In A Fast Car...The Wind Blowing Through Her Hair

We took our sweet Kenzie to get her first "official" haircut at a darling little salon:

Her stylist, Haley did such a good job...and the pink sucker was the perfect distraction to help Kenzie sit still (enough) to get the job done!

The pictures speak for themselves...here she is:
