Really looking forward to some time off this week – much needed! And some time at home, cooking and hanging out. Hopefully some reading too. This Friday is a dress rehearsal and Saturday is the first full on-stage performance of the Nutcracker! Grandma Dina and Grandpa Ron are coming in for Thanksgiving and they will come to that performance, which is at THE ARC in Anacostia.

Here are some photos from Grampy's birthday party on Saturday night and brunch at my house on Sunday morning (his actual birthday).
