Dressing up the Bitty Babies for the Holidays

These are the holilday doll outfits that Catherine Craig gave Kayla.  

Our Wintermint in the Nutcracker

Kayla REALLY wanted to be on stage and asked if she could do a ballet class with our neighbor, Priscilla, so she could perform at the end of the session.  Since we did the fall/winter session, Kayla was able to be in the Nutcracker performance.  She absolutely loved it and was confident on stage.  Kyle and I are very proud of our little girl who we THOUGHT was shy.  She is really coming out of her shell! (This was also a really nice opportunity for the Perez Sisters to get together during the holiday season! I am so glad that Orinda is not too far away from my sissies)

Our Little Winter Mint

The Gang...Jane, Priscilla and Kayla (not sure who the 4th is - ha ha)

Waiting, waiting, waiting to perform.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We decided to get the tree a little earlier this year even though I am convinced that an "early" tree equals a dried out tree for Christmas.  Kayla and I came home from a birthday party and set to work decorating.  Tanner and Kyle joined in for a fun family night.
