The stores have been displaying Christmas stuff since around Halloween, so we’re now in full Christmas swing. We put the tree up and the lights on the house over Thanksgiving weekend. The girls (well, Ava) is asking when Santa is coming. Meanwhile Ali is happy to pull the ornaments off the tree.
We saw Santa at Home Depot
which was successful even for just Ali.
Our gym continued their Santa tradition (same Santa since Ava was born). However this time Ali wasn’t quite as cooperative.
But she was fine a few minutes later in the middle of the blur of activity.
Even trying to squash a balloon.
The girls thoroughly enjoy the lights around the neighborhood. We walk around every few nights to take in new displays (and to revisit the neighbor that has his lights synchronized to music). Ali gets thrilled when the lights go on at night.
Here are the girls in the backyard.
At home, Ava is being helpful by making us some tea.
While Ali plays doctor.
Occasionally they coordinate and work together in the kitchen.
Ava loves using the doll stroller…taking her dolls for a walk.
and sometimes the Cat in the Hat too…
Ali has fun hiking with Dad.
which means she gets to enjoy views like this.
and manage to look cool after the hike too!
And for the first time, Ava was in her school’s Christmas performance (she was sick the prior two years). Her class did great singing and performing “Christmas Step by Step”
Now for a few videos.
