Thanks to our neighbor’s hot tip, we headed to see DJ Disco Vinnie’s house, replete with a movie screen and lights galore that change in time with the music. It is SO COOL. We’ll be back…with hot chocolate!

We migrated to the car to stay warm and of course the song that came on after the last, last, last, very last song…was ‘Let It Go.’ And DJ Disco Vinnie did it justice:)

Holiday break means time to create more performances! We spent alllll morning designing the ice palace set and costumes…which combined Meryl’s long awaited desire for me to wear a formal dress I’ve not worn in years (thank goodness it fit) and for her to wear one of my dresses that I too have not worn in even more years:) Note our creativity of using a scarf for Elsa’s hair. We even watched the song on the movie to remind us of our parts. And then it was lunchtime…when getting ready is more fun than the event itself!

Meryl still found time for a performance:)

There’s something here to do with counting kid toes and dinosaur toes, who knows. Feet fleet.

Meryl and I celebrated Winter Solstice on the slopes and headed back the next morning for another round of fun…”Mom, let’s play horsie! I’ll be the horse.” Fine by me! (We also met up with a friend the second day and I quickly became allergic to Meryl’s soul. Fine by me! We’re all eager for ski lessons soon, I’ve got to untether one to tether the next one!)

Day one.

Day two.

Oops, we were over a month late for Holmes’ three year check-up, and this ham of a kid is in the 100th percentile for charm:)

And then he headed back to preschool, and we got to have a parent teacher conference with his teacher, and we all agreed that school rules for Holmes. He has so many fans:) And he’s three.

I needed one thing, it turned into a neighborhood girls outing, and then Xanna and Meryl found some necessary building materials for Holmes.

And they sent us a selfie! Date night! And in the way of these days, we rapid tested and headed to a small holiday dinner with friends where everyone too showed their test results beforehand. They’re the hottest accessory of the season!

Off to Kringle’s Station we go!

(My favorite!)
