long winter's nap

the holidays are for lounging, resting and relaxing right?

that's what mowgli seems to think.

but, we don't mind one bit, because our exhausted school brains

and sore ballet muscles are accepting every ounce of rest they can get. 

mowgli met so many people at lovebird's family's christmas party-

it took the energy right out of him.

he managed to crash right in front of the christmas tree, 

not minding the big red bow we tied on him.

he was in for a long winter's nap.

it's a tuff life, when you are the center of attention-

having everyone awing over your cuteness,

petting you at every chance and playing with you endlessly.

he is certinaly spoiled.

i'm not sure lovebird and i can give him nearly as much love, 

 as all of his adoring fans, friends and family are giving him, 

when we go back home.

a few things are for certain:

we love mowgli, christmastime and long winter naps. 

oh, and mowgli has decided this is his favorite time of year too-

he can't seem to get enough of the snow.

in between his naps, he joyfully pounces in the snow.

it's like pulling teeth to get him to come back inside. 

obviously, we are all completely satisfied with how this christmas break is going.

hope you enjoy your last day of 2012!

see you in the new year!

a vacation to the land of sweets.

.....and this is why i've been on a forced vacation from the blog.

nutcracker season devours every minute of every day.

it's over now; which is always bittersweet.

bitter: because as much work as it is, it is so fun to dance, perform,

and spend loads of time with dear friends cooped up in one small dressing room.

sweet: nutcracker being over, means going home {utah} for christmas,

time with family and friends, and time to relax my sore, sore muscles. 

so, now i'm here today, enjoying time off in the company of loved ones.

what could be better? nothing. 

i hope to be more on top of posting, 

however, now i'm really on vacation- so i can't make any promises. 

i hope you all had a lovely christmas.

we sure did.

this time of year is seriously splendid.

merry christmas from us to you.
