Ann and the bell choir

Sometimes I am so bad about my camera. The following 3 day span was one of those times.

Our dear friend Ann came to visit. She took us out for maybe the best out-to-eat meal experience I've ever had. Even though I look kind of possessed in this picture, I can assure you I was beyond happy. :)

The people here in the Sportsman's Paradise take the flour de lis REAL seriously. Toasters, cookie cutters, desserts, it's everywhere. As an aside: this was creme brûlée made in a shallow plate-thus providing and equal amount custard: burned sugar. Genius.

The classic preschool Christmas Program. Mark was a peach entertained the girls with the manger while we were waiting. A big thanks to Ann for their matching dresses, and a big bummer I didn't get a good pic of all 3.

Ok-these 4 year olds had bells, all different colors, and played them when told, and it was kind of amazing. They sounded like a regular old handbell choir. Quite impressive. They even stopped them on their chests. I guess it doesn't take a lot for me.

Getting her bag before we headed out...

I mean, this was genuine. Love.
