The girls have been counting down god days to see their Abuelos that are visiting from Mexico. The girls helped unload the truck and they were pleasantly surprised to see two huge piñatas for their birthday parties next year. They brought our favorite food and candy. This is awesome!
We went to see the Nutcracker ballet last Sunday and the performance was perfect. Both girls enjoyed the show. This was Ana's first time that she had seen if live and she did really well following the story, mimicking the ballerinas and occasionally sitting still.
Once again the girls got to build gingerbread houses at our local library. It is fun seeing their creativity, not only in their craft but also in his to sneak eating a candy or two.
Last Sunday the girls and I went to see the Sugar Plumb Fairy at a local ballet dance studio. They hosted around eighty girls to hot chocolate, crafts, pictures and a small performance with the characters from The Nutcracker.
The best part (according to the girls) was seeing the ballerinas performance. At the end all the little girls were invited to dance with the Sugar Plum Fairy. That was a perfect ending to this event. Now we are ready for Sunday, when we go see the real Nutcracker performance.
Emma and Ana spent hours playing by themselves. At the end Ana showed us her lips...she put "lipstick" on which ended up being marker. This girl!
