December is already flying by with our full calendar of holiday events!
This past Thursday I started the fun with a girls' night at Treat Your Feet for an hour long LIFE-CHANGING foot massage. I was the only one who had tried this place before, so the girls were in Heaven! I thought a relaxing experience would be a good change from the typical dinner out. We wrapped up the night at Sweet Hut for desserts where we exchanged gifts. We each brought a present under $6 for everyone else that contained one of our favorite things. The selections were so creative!
Our Christmas cards arrived Friday, so I put my elves straight to work stuffing the envelopes and placing the stamps in the right spot. :)
Friday evening after a yummy dinner of homemade chicken noodle soup (our new favorite!), we stopped by a local church for their annual live nativity. I had always wanted to attend, but the dates never worked out. This year we had an available slot, so we made it happen! The extremely cold weather kept the visit short, but the kids loved seeing the biblical characters and the live animals. Jacob especially loved the cows.
Today was the highlight of the weekend! Our annual Nutcracker performance at the Fox Theater had arrived. Everyone has counted down the days for this special event.
Luckily Gram and Grumps were willing to keep Jacob, so we could actually watch the show AND eat a meal at a restaurant!
The Nutcracker did not disappoint this year. Tuttle and Maggie were literally on the edge of their seats. I just love this little tradition since we are able to really experience such an Atlanta institution.
I made reservations for dinner at the Livingston Restaurant inside the Georgian Terrace Hotel across from The Fox. It was a new spot for everyone, and it was so convenient to just walk a few feet to get a delicious meal and beautiful ambiance. Of course, I used the opportunity to snap a few photos of my favorite people!
A huge thank you to Grandmommy and Grandaddy for treating the entire family to dinner and the ballet. These are holiday memories we will cherish always.
Tuttle and Maggie selected nutcrackers after the ballet which occupied a lot of their time at dinner.
Aunt Peach and Uncle Drew are SO CLOSE to welcoming Piper into the family! Only twelve more days!
Jay and I really enjoyed having a night away with our big kids. Why does Tuttle look 13 in this picture?!?!
The Christmas craziness continues tomorrow with church and a rehearsal for the Christmas Eve nativity parade. It is the most wonderful time of the year!
