The Frog and the Nutcracker

The Froggy and the Nutcracker have a lot in common, at least in fairytales. Over the holidays, (yes, I know they are over and I have to take my tree down this weekend, sigh), I went to the Rainforest Cafe and took this photo of a little froggy over their signboard.  I thought it was charming.   Also, over the holiday I bought another nutcracker to add to my collection.  This one looked like a prince with a little froggy wearing a crown at his feet.   It dawned on me that the froggy in the fairytale who gets kissed by the princess and becomes a prince is a lot like the nutcracker in the Christmas Nutcracker Suite Ballet who comes to life for the little girl.  They are both about dreams that come true.    My New Year's wish for all who read this journal, and for all those who don't (smile), is for all your Dreams to come true...no matter how impossible they seem.  Like the princess and the little girl we all have the power do extraordinary things, to impact and help others make wonderful transformations.   May you all experience the wonder of your dreams!   Happy New Year 2006!

The Rain Forest is one of our favorite places to go and eat when we visit a city that has them (which currently has been the one in the South Coast Plaza in the Irvine area and at Downtown Disney). I love their key lime pie :)

And my SIL also collects nutcrackers!

May you have a wonderful new year too!
