Fun December pics

A playdate with the Beelers in early December. Here we are walking home after picking up Maya at CDN.

 Fiona started off pretty grumpy, but she quickly recovered with some playtime with the big girls.

 Fiona's hair is long enough for some pigtails now. Here is our first attempt.

 Lily tends to over condition her hair, but she doesn't believe me so I took a picture one day to prove it.

 Fiona watching attentively at the Santa Lucia performance that we attended to see Emma sing.

 Melina, Lily and Emma relaxing at the swedish christmas fair after Emma's performance.

 Fiona is just hanging out in the living room watching Daddy get the christmas tree set up.

 Here is Lily helping to remove the string from the tree after the big reveal.

 Lily helped Mommy and Daddy string the lights on the tree.

 Fiona loves the snow globe that Grammy gave us a few christmases ago.

 Lily hung up her new ornament, a peacock this year.

 Mommy helped Fiona hang hers.

 Its a real sand dollar that has been dipped in gold.

 Then Lily helped put the star on top of the tree.

 Fiona could not be left out of such fun.

 We went to see Frog and Toad. Lily and Fi posed on stage during the intermission.

 Fiona really enjoyed the show.

 We have an elf in our house this year. Her name is Hart. She does interesting things and watches us from different places in our house each day. One morning she used the m and m's Mommy had for a school project to leave us a note.

 Cutie pie.

 Lily at her morning assembly with her class.

 Last ballet dinner! Pizza with the Rapozas.
