Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

December was its usually flurry of activity!  I took Hana to see Disney on Ice again and she liked it even better this time (perhaps it was because she got a new mermaid?)  She went to a birthday party where the "real!" Elsa came for a visit.  She even gave her "fairy dust"!  We went to my friend Marie's house in Conifer and cut down Hana's very own (small) Christmas tree that she got to decorate and put outside her room!  And then she even got to ride on one of Marie's horses (again, since her very first time on a real horse, was also at Marie's house!)

A big highlight of the month for Hana was our annual trip on the train downtown to see The Nutcracker.  It was a little different this year and I took Hana and her two best friends from preschool, Bleu and Ryvers.  They were fairly well behaved and had a GREAT time!

We had a great Christmas with the family!  We spent Christmas Eve at Karina's house.  Hana even tried the meatballs!  She loved all of her Doc McStuffins stuff and wants to be a vet again (this week, anyway!)  It was too much of everything, as usual! 

Christmas day was spent at the Nelson's.  We ate too much ham and other wonderful things as well.   Then, Knute and I were off to Michigan!  Hana spent a couple of days at the Nelson's house with her cousin's and had a great time!! 

Big things are happening in 2015.  More later!
