Lots of images on this post. Has been a very busy season, and more-than-the-usual stress involved. Still planning on going private, but I wanted to post these pictures before they became obsolete!
My kind and supportive friend Janet took the girls for most of a day to give me some private shopping time. They got all dressed up and went to the mall to see Santa.
Janet got to try out her new Nikkon, with spectacular results!
The girls asked Santa for bikes this Christmas. Guess what Virginia? There IS a Santa Claus!
They asked for the training wheels to come off after the first day. Ava took off like a pro on the very first push! Elle is still working on it. She has the balance thing down but still working on control, which she lacks. And all she really cares about is speed! Lord help me!
Christmas is not complete for little girls without new dolls. Ava named hers after me. Even though it looks like her.
************************************
We also had a birthday in there. Elle turned 7 three days before Christmas. We had her little party on the Sunday before the holiday.
She had a little bit of a hard time understanding the whole concept. Because she has never even celebrated her birthday, or known when it was, I have been telling her for months it was 'at Christmas'. Then I had to explain to her that her birthday was on the 22nd but we were having the party on the 20th. By the time it was all said and done, she thought she was having 3 birthday parties, and had a bit of a meltdown when she found out that was NOT the case! Luckily, Santa Claus and his visit made up for all that misunderstanding, and hopefully we have it down for next year!

Oh Janet you are a busy, busy lady! Nothing like having to throw a b-day party in right at Xmas time. Then top it off w/ a child that doesn't even know what a b-day party is!!! The photos are great, they are simply stunning girls!
Busy, busy girls and mama! Looks like a spectacular season for them! And they look beautiful! Happy New Year, M!!
Looks like lots of fun, even with the birthday misunderstanding. :-)
What a season at your house! Your girls look happy, healthy and beautiful. I am green with envy at the thought of riding bikes at Christmas!
I smiled when I saw your kitchen. . .it is nearly *identical* to the kitchen I had in my first house. I miss that house something awful, especially at the holidays :)
Happy New Year!
