A Night Out on the Prairie!


Since November we have been making our way through the Little House on the Prairie books. It started as one chapter per night but.....sometimes it was 2 or 3 or more!! The girls became very interested in the life style and have checked out many books from the libraries with information concerning the different locations in which Laura had lived. For their birthday present from Auntie Al, Emily and Erin got tickets to the Little House on the Prairie musical. It was certainly a night to remember! The photo shows Erin and Emily dressed in their prairie outfits (birthday presents from Auntie Al) with "Laura Ingalls" and "Nellie Oleson" after the musical. The photo doesn't show it very well, but Emily has blue ribbons in her braids (as Laura always did) and Erin has pink ribbons (as Mary always did). Erin also crocheted a "lace" collar as "Mary always had a fancy lace collar". (Erin's words!) THANK YOU, AUNTIE AL!!
