nutcracker

last weekend, barclay and i headed to louisville for christmas with jennifer and my family.

we started off at target, walking around each of us trying to find a gift for $20. i would recommend shopping together for any friends, it was so much fun! and it really put the pressure on you :) i ended up with a food chopper!

then we had lunch at jason's deli and scooted over to iceland for the nutcracker on ice!

barclay's cousin, ashton, is a ice skater and her group performed the nutcracker for the 7th year. it was great! i've never seen anything on ice and i love the nutcracker, so it was a perfect combo!

there were older people and little bitties on the ice and they were all so good!

then we headed to grandma and grandpa's house for some presents (they did so good giving me old family pics and an album and picture box!!) and chit chat.

then we had dinner with dad and the fam at outback and went back to their house for some more presents!

it was a great weekend and an early start to the christmas celebration!
