The park next to my sister Lisa's house is like a Christmas wonderland. Seriously, they are in to Christmas around here.


We took a trolley ride through the festival of lights in the park and even though there is no snow, it still gets you in the Christmas mood.

We went to ballet class where Lisa demonstrates the proper application of Aqua-net hairspray to really make the ballet hair stay in place.

After ballet there was cake and candy at Emily Ford's birthday party. Notice the sugar coma look that the kids get.

Later the next day, the two were at it again eating a giant donut at Starbucks.
