Here are a few images from yesterday’s opening of the St. Charles Christmas Traditions Festival. Here is the complete cast of characters:


Above is Clara with the Master of Revels, my other kids + one hit the new ice rink, and Clara and her Nutcracker Prince parade down Main Street.
For those of you in the St. Louis area, this is a very fun family event. Each character has their very own card – kids and adults love to collect them all!







































Alas, I’m not in the St. Louis area, but I have to say if I were, well, I’d be there!
It looks like a lot of fun! And I love your new header, too. I really like the idea of changing it with the seasons. Cute.
Thanks, Vee! That header thing can become an obsession! I try not to labor over it too much. The Christmas fest is lots of fun, if you’re ever in the neighborhood . . well, you better look me up!
