Sugar Plumb Fairies, that is. Halle and I were so excited to share our yearly tradition of attending the Nutcracker with all the girls in our family this year. The men and the boys all went to Dave and Busters. The Nutcracker did not disappoint, and we all had a magical time!
Every year it’s bigger and better. This year we used 71 ice blocks and 108 donuts. It was so fun to see the kids slipping and sliding down the hill. For some reason, Blake was adamant that he was not going to participate this year. I coaxed him down the hill a few times, but…
I don’t think I can really do justice to describing April 20th, 2015. I am simultaneously so inspired and grateful, and so very disappointed in the outcome.

I bet you all thought it would be the baby, didn’t you? Well, it’s not. The best present ever (given to me, by me) is that I hired someone who came and scrubbed my house from top to bottom yesterday. And it was heavenly. I just went about my day, getting little things done around…

Tara! I've just been catching up on your cute little family here! I CANNOT believe Halle is 8! Her birthday in NY sounded amazing and fun that you had all your family out for Thanksgiving! Glad things are going well!!
