Thanksgiving, Cole & The Nutcracker

Wow - I'm so sad that the long weekend is winding down so fast! Thought I'd post a few pictures before the week starts again. It has been a great weekend so far! Thursday was spent at both Randall's & Koldewyn's (yes, that would be TWO dinners - yum!) and we had a LOT of great food and time with family. At Koldewyn's, all anyone could do was fight over who got to hold Cole next. But can you blame us? Look how cute he is!

Here is Abby, holding him (well, trying not to drop him!)

Friday, Abby and I spent the WHOLE day doing a clear-out and throwing bag after bag of garbage in the bin (don't worry, we took a TON of old magazines and newspapers to the recycling bin as well!) plus a ton of stuff to the DI. I still have more stuff to take, so we're not quite done. It feels AMAZING though and now I can properly concentrate on the holidays ahead! Here is a picture of Yogi, hanging out in Abby's new "art space" (really the shelves under the bar in the kitchen!)


My very generous mom treats all the Koldewyn girls to the Nutcracker every year (complete with lunch) and today was the day! Abby got a new dress, shoes, coat and jewelry for the occasion. Doesn't she look fancy?


Here is a picture of all the little girls, before the ballet started...

A fantastic time was had by all (even if a certain five-year-old got a little cranky toward the end!) It was Christine's first year and it was SO great to have her along for the fun. All in all, it's been a pretty great weekend. It will feel a little strange to be at work again on Monday...good thing I still have one more day before I go back! Good night, all!

Abby looks so grown-up and beautiful in her dress and coat. What a fun weekend you all had! Abby is lucky to grown up with her cousins!
