Lillian's First Ballet Performance

Upon returning from the beach Lilly had her first ballet performance at the community center where she took lessons. She was not shy at all and took off towards the stage all by herself when they announced her class. They only danced to one song which was a perfect amount. She loves ballet and will keep taking classes every weekend.

Cocoa and Cookies Visit

One day during winter break my parents stopped by with cocoa and cookies for the girls. They loved the surprise!

Vivi really getting into the frosting on her cookie.

Lilly enjoying her cocoa.. and not even a kid sized one.. they were sugared up! I let the kids stay in pjs until after nap time that day, Lilly loved it!

The sugared up little sweeties and their Papa.

Christmas Day

We had a lovely Christmas day, everything was so nice, decorative and fun!

Vivi's silly present was cat ears. She was SO proud to show them off and smile for everyone, what a ham!

Cousins In Matching Pjs

Cousin Jade came to visit for Christmas and the girls adored spending time with her.

This is honestly the best picture I could get of the three silly girls in their matching pajamas. We had a lovely Christmas Eve celebrating with the Lawrence side of the family.

Attack hugging Jade, she adores her so much!

Happy NEW YEAR!

We had a laid back new year (both our girls were sick) but enjoyed watching fireworks and the traditional new york celebrations on tv. This is the first year Lilly got to stay up and have a toast with us. She enjoyed her bubbly apple juice in a fancy glass!

Santa Came To Our House!

Santa arrived and Lilly was beyond excited this year!

Vivi finding her "dog" santa left for her.

Lilly playing with her castle Santa left for her.

Lilly discovering Santa had filled the stockings.

And drank the milk, ate the cookies and that the "Christmas Deer" had eaten some of the carrots!

Vivi carrying her full stocking around.

 

Enjoying Santa pancakes on Christmas Day.. but Lilly was under the impression that we were making pancakes FOR Santa and he was going to show up.. that was a slight dissapointment for her.

Pre-Christmas At The Beach

A few weeks before Christmas we celebrated with the Wagoners and Edges at the beach.

The girls had fun making cookies with Grandma Ona. Lilly was caught with a mouthful of cookie in this picture!

And loved their matching pajamas, a family tradition.
