Today we’re celebrating Christmas a little early. Each year we look forward to having my sister and brother-in-law over for a little family Christmas celebration and this year we’re celebrating with the newest member of the family, my niece Cecileia. It feels like it’s been months (instead of weeks) since I saw her for the first time, so I can hardly wait to hold her again. #ProudAuntie here!
On Monday we’ll be heading to Uptown Charlotte to see the final performance of The Nutcracker by the Charlotte Ballet. It’s been a few years since we’ve been to The Nutcracker, and I’ve heard good things about this years performance.
