Christmas this year was intentionally simple. Nutcracker went by fast and was much smoother than last year. Raquel was a mouse who tripped the soldiers and caught the fallen mouse after she was shot. She hit all her marks. We saw Santa. Santa took his sweet time to chat with Raquel. Adaline was okay till she sat in his lap. And even than it was a fake, unsure cry. We had cold weather come and the Rushtons came to "skate" in front of the house.
