Early in December we went tree shopping. It was raining out, but we went anyhow. Fiona liked looking at all the trees.
They had a photo op at Home Depot and the girls decided to take part. Fiona Claus and Lily the Snowman.
Can't leave the big sister out of the photo taking.
Later that night we decorated the tree together. We always listen to Christmas music and have fancy drinks.
The following weekend was Fiona's school performance. Lily and Tyler (who went to preschool together and are now at Rosa Parks together) both came to watch their sisters perform.
Fiona is part of the dance class at school so she sat with the rest of the dancers.
Here she is in my favorite pose of the dance to the Happiest Christmas Tree.
We surprised her with a visit from Uncle Louis (Gooey) who came to watch her.
The next day she had her in class performance for her ballet class.
She did a great job and looked super cute in her costume.
On Sunday we had our annual gingerbread house decorating with Emma and Maya.
Fi did most of her own decorating this year. I just put on the frosting where she wanted it.
Then it was time for Lily to perform the following weekend. Here she is with her class, posing for a group photo.
This is her costume for the girl part of her dance.
Emma and Maya both performed as well, Emma in hip hop and tap/jazz and Maya as part of the Nutcracker.
Fiona in the audience with Daddy.
Nalani and Melina performed too, but we were never in the same dressing room as Melina's class.
Here is Lily in her angel costume.
The next day it was time for the annual pre Christmas manicure/pedicure with friends.
On Tuesday of Christmas week we went into the city for a visit with Santa. The girls decided on matching dresses. Fi asked for a tea set and Lily for a Chromebook.
There was a Nutcracker presentation going on there as well so both girls posed as dancers.
They also watched the projection of the ballet on the domed ceiling.
