We had such a blast hanging out with Holly for Wonderful Wednesday at the Arboretum!  

 

While we were touring the nutcracker display, Noelle saw Santa through the window.  He was doing a promotional photo shoot (so he was off duty).  Noelle waved at him and the next second, he had come through a back door and into the room where we were to see Noelle.  They got to share a moment all alone, and it was really neat. 

Holly gave Noelle this adorable dress, and I thought it was perfect for going to see the gingerbread men!

I’ve never seen a Wizard of Oz nutcracker display.  This was Noelle’s favorite!  She asked me to tell her all of their names.

Holly was so sweet to think of my dad when she saw this nutcracker.  Miss Holly and Noelle look like two peas in a pod!

I think this expression is wonderful.

I felt something wet on my cheek right when the camera flash went off.  Noelle decided to kiss me in the picture, which was super sweet!

This pic is for Michele – Holly made homemade chicken salad, pita chips, and cut fresh pineapples for us.  I’m not going to tell you how many servings I ate!  🙂

 

Our yummy yogurt dessert!  Noelle was so sweet to Holly’s nutcrackers.  She treated them like she treated the scarecrows this fall.  Her whole demeanor was saying, "You poor thing!"  

                   

This face sums up our day – super fun and special.  Thanks for coming with us and having us over for lunch, Holly!  We love you!
