Visions of Sugar Plum Fairies


Merry Christmas to all!
We look forward to seeing many of the Glistas and Boyans on the Farm this weekend and send well wishes to all the Carrolls, Zubkos, and other friends and family afar. Like her Folky Polish Mrs. Santa dress? I've had that red holly fabric for years - and finally put it to use. Not like I was ever going to make a Christmas quilt.

Maya has been all about Ballerinas this season. I let her happen across the Nutcracker theme and she's run with it. She has the story memorized, has her own Nutcracker doll and a fancy tutu (courtesy of mama's leftover wedding fabric). We put together a full length feature film My First Nutcracker (featuring Lyla & Mino). Here is a link to an excerpt of it at YouTube.

The full length film is available from Carroll Productions
for $19.95 + S&H.
Just Kidding! As if this wasn't long enough for you! (There actually is a grandparent-length version with extra behind the scenes footage)

Christmas Morning Update: Too Many Presents!
Maya got tired after opening less than half of them. Maybe we can save some for her birthday next month. But there were some great scores so far.... Thomas & some friends, train table, real wooden kiddie piano, paints, and big girl underwear! Thanks to all the Grandparents for the tremendous Christmas Morning.
