Talking Libby loved her nutcracker

You may want to read the journaling on this layout first.

On Christmas morning, I watched in dread as Libby went to open the package with her nutcracker in it. And, to my great surprise, she loved it! I showed her the layout and told her I thought she'd hate it and she said, "But now, I have my own nutcracker just like her and I can snuggle him in bed. That's not boring - that's snuggly."

Whew!

How sweet! And what a lovely LO!

I took both of my girls to see the Nutcracker this year and at first they were not all that excited. They were selling nutcrackers at the theater and I bought one for my younger dd, but the older one was not at all interested.... until intermission when she looked at me and said "Momma, I think I want my own nutcracker to snuggle with." Ah... the magic of the ballet got to her!

So glad she liked it!

Took my son to see a Shakespeare comedy play this summer, and he wouldn't admit to liking it... but I know he did! He was quite obviously enthralled the whole time! Don't know why they say these things
