It’s the most wonderful time of the year. 
And we are finding a million ways that God is blessing us in this sweet season.
One was an opportunity to go see the Alabama Ballet perform the Nutcracker.
It was just mama and the girls, taking a little field trip to the Wright Center at Samford University.
And, since our Clementine fancies herself a ballerina, this outing was especially sweet.
She wasn’t quite sure what all the fuss was about but, once the ballet was underway, she was mesmerized…
And by the end of it, I think we were all pretty mesmerized.
After the ballet, we headed over to Big Spoon Creamery and met up with Victoria and Jon for ice cream. 
Just as we were digging into a our sundaes (oh my, y’all – the Big Spoon Sundae was to die for.) we heard, “These are for you. You all look so nice today, we just thought you might like these.” And she gifted us with a box of chocolate-chocolate-chip-cookie goodness.
Yes. Yes, we would.
It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
