The Littlest Nutcracker

Andrew has always sort of envied the big kids nutcrackers that are displayed every Christmastime. They were gifts given to our four older children by their grandmother long before Andrew was a twinkle in any ones eye. So it was with excitement and joy that he unwrapped a littler version at our annual ornament exchange. But instead of putting it on the tree with the other ornaments he carefully placed it where it rightfully belonged; alongside the others.
