Chickadee

Chickadee Thursday

Saturday was a very exciting day, because we went to Christmas Traditions in St. Charles, MO, where Chickadee got to see her very favorite Legend of Christmas, Ebenezer Scrooge:

She was also very excited that this year she got to see the Sugar Plum Fairy, and also Santa Lucia (on Santa Lucia Day!) and the Christkind!

Chickadee Thursday

We’re in the full swing of Christmas spirit…Chickadee had fun at the Boar’s Head Festival and at Christmas on The Hill!

She’s also been really excited to get a chance to acolyte at our midweek Advent services, and I delight in her joy at serving in the House of the Lord!

Chickadee Thursday

At our town’s Santa Parade the day after Thanksgiving:

And Chickadee got to see Santa again this year at the tree lighting…that whole Santa thing is pretty fun now that all of the children are old enough for us not to have to avoid it!

Chickadee Thursday

Chickadee and I had fun at the St. Louis Thanks-For-Giving Parade last weekend…she was especially excited to see her old friend Fredbird!

Chickadee Thursday

Chickadee had her follow-up appointment with the orthopedist this morning, where she received some strengthening exercises to do with a resistance band and she got to see this adorable elephant sculpture!

Chickadee Thursday

Chickadee wasn’t up to our annual trek around Cahokia Mounds because of her broken ankle, but we did visit the St. Louis Art Museum yesterday…we thought it was funny to recreate the pose of Degas’ “Little Dancer” with her boot!

Chickadee Thursday

On Saturday, we took our annual autumn walk around Creve Coeur Lake…the weather beautiful, and there was some good color!

As it turns out, it’s a good thing we went on that walk when we did, because Chickadee broke her ankle two days later and is now in a walking boot and not really up to such a long trek!
