A Special Christmas Day with Grandma

by Leave a Comment

The kids and I got to have a much needed GRANDMA day today! My mom took off work and we celebrated our Christmas tradition of going to see Santa and drinking hot chocolate. We added making cookies to the mix this year! V seriously had the best time using the cookie cutter and cutting out her special cookies!

Both the kids did a great job talking with Santa, and I honestly don't remember what V asked for. Yikes! Hopefully it is still that candy cane 😉

V was so excited to tell Grandma all about her elf Macy that got all caught up in the string of lights this morning!

This might be my favorite day in the month of December because for once my mom and I don't have anything to do and we focus on the kids and Christmas!

 

 

The Cinderella Ballet

We were walking around the mall, drinking hot chocolate samples from Williams and and admiring all the beautiful Christmas trees when we stumbled upon a local private school performing Cinderella. V loved it. She sat there mesmerized. The girls were wearing two of the costumes that she has of mine. She gladly exclaimed, “Mommy, I have that costume at home!” 2.0 squealed and clapped pretty much the entire time.

I got to thinking how incredibly lucky these girls are to get to go to the mall and practice performing in front of 100s of people. I mean everyone who walked by stopped for a few minutes to watch.

I hope, if V decides to be a dancer that she gets lots of opportunities to dance in front of crowds like this!

When we got home from the mall V went and put on her wings just like the dancer girls.

Fairy Down!
