It's hard to believe the Christmas season will soon be upon us. This weekend we got into the spirit of the season. On Friday night, the girls' dance studio held their annual Christmas Recital at the Riverwalk in an outdoor amphitheater. Only the 3 year old classes and older performed, so Adriana will be part of it next year. Gabriella was in a ballet number to "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." She did wonderfully! So impressive and we are so proud of her! Below is the video of her performance and some still shots.
(It's a little jumpy at first, but be patient. After people around us stopped moving, David was able to focus in on Gabby.)
Before her performance.
Well done! Bravo!
There was a lighting ceremony and an opportunity to visit with Santa on Friday night as well. The girls had so much fun sitting on Santa's lap. They told him they want Barbies and make-up. Such little girls!
In deep conversation with the jolly man!
Merry Christmas!

Today we kept in the Christmas mood and decorated our home both inside and outside. Mommy and Daddy decorated outside while the girls napped. After they woke up, we put up our Christmas tree and set out some other decorations. We will fully decorate after Thanksgiving.
It's hard to make out what Adriana is doing. After she put her first ornament on the tree (a teddy bear holding a football), she hugged the bear. She is such a soft and gentle child and it really shines through in this photo.

The last step - Angel on top!
Ta Da! Our Christmas tree in the dining room.
Over the course of the last couple years, Nonna has bought the girls their own Christmas trees. The girls decorated their trees for their bedrooms.
Adriana's tree. They are both so pretty and special!
We are looking forward to the holiday season! First up is Thanksgiving. We have much to be thankful for this year!
