Here are some pictures of our weekend. The poor wrapped reindeer was a white elephant gift - lovingly won by a 5 year old girl. She named it Rudolpha, and hugged it so much it started to shed - good thing it wasn't our carpet....
The Dickens Christmas was fun, but there wasn't as much "Dickens" as we were hoping for. We saw Scrooge, Fagen, Oliver, and Dodger, but none of the ghosts of Christmas. We tried roasted chestnuts (which oddly enough tasted like overcooked dry beans [but I liked them]) and sugar plums, which were delicious! Oh, and of course Dave had a huge smoked turkey leg!
We decided to forego the children's musical this evening. We're just a little bit tired after all our fun. We're staying home to eat leftover cheese ball (which is even better the second day!) and hopefully find a Christmas movie to watch on TV. I'm hoping for White Christmas, but Dave, who's really just a big kid, and is eating dry Cinnamon Life cereal and playing video games right now, is hoping for Home Alone 2. I guess we'll see....

Hey Ali,.
The festival looked like a lot of fun. Dad has the Santa has our backround. You were looking good in the green jacket and scarf. Very holidayish :) Wish we could have gone with you. We are planning to make this new year our traveling year, so look out we'll be dropping by more often.
Have a good week.
Love,
Mom
Might I make a suggestion? Have you ever seen "Scrooge" with Albert Finney? It's a musical version, that is endearing, and yet quite hilarious. My favorite song is "I Hate People", sung by Scrooge (it reminds me of Matt Leverton).
