Our friend, Buddy the Elf, is back for the month of December to keep tabs on Sebastian and Sophia. He will be reporting back to Santa each night to let him know if they have been naughty or nice.

Photos of Buddy’s adventures will be posted through Christmas Eve. Check back often!
Sophia and I created the first of our three jack-o-lanterns last Sunday. We lovingly call him “cleaver”.
Last night Mike and Sebastian started on our other pumpkins. Mike prepped one and let me take over to create a creepy faced jack-o-lantern. Sebastian did his own from start to finish.
Now that Sebastian is too old for trick-or-treating, he used our tickets for tonight’s UMD hockey Halloween game and asked three friends to join him. Mike dropped the boys off at the arena and came home to escort “Amelia Earhart” around our neighborhood.
Sophia trick-or-treated for a little over an hour and covered the whole neighborhood. She completed a very successful candy gathering mission.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween!
Sophia had the opportunity to play piano at Glensheen Mansion’s Halloween Spooktacular last night. It was opening night of the event and several music students played solo and group pieces in the carriage house as guests made their way through the grounds of the estate and viewed hundreds of jack-o-lanterns. Sophia was excited to play one of her favorite songs “Little Grey Owl” and also to see Spooktacular again this year. It didn’t hurt that there was hot chocolate, popcorn and s’mores available along the way.
Here’s the video of her performance on YouTube.
We saw jack-o-lanterns of all shapes and sizes with no two designs the same.
Sophia did a great job playing her piece without missing a note and we enjoyed a wonderful fall evening walking the grounds of a beautiful estate.
