December brought the excitement in a big way for two little girls!
They were so excited to help me decorate the tree! Avalon and Aria made handmade ornaments all month and kept hanging them on the tree, too. So adorable.
Santa brought us an early present....this very gorgeous new Enclave. Yes, I was very good this year. :)
After a couple months of practice in their ballet classes, the girls got ready for their big performance at the Redondo Union High School auditorium. Here they are showing off their first ever ballet hair buns and makeup - which was not my favorite, but required. They are both sitting in "ballerina sitting pose". :)
Getting costumes on...
Waiting patiently for their part of the show to begin...
Aria's class dances to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
Avalon's class does their fairy dance.
After the show! First flower bouquets! Very proud little dancers - and proud mommy and daddy.
Avalon got her first award in a school event in December. Her award was for being a "super star" and raising more than $250 for her school in the jog-a-thon. She was one of three in her class to get the award.
No one was more excited than Aria to hold Avalon's medal. Aria loves her big sister sooo much.
Christmas eve....making cookies for Santa with Mom.
Fun times with Liz and Alex and Grandma and Pop Pop in town for Christmas!
Present time!
The girls on Christmas morning... Eating the rest of the cookies that Santa didn't eat!
All dressed up and ready for Christmas church.
We had the happiest Christmas this year!
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and great start to 2015!
All our love, xox
