So many firsts...

ok so...

So much has been happening around here, many firsts, holiday festivities and getting ready for Christmas and the girls' second birthday.

Since the girls will be 2 years old before they return from Christmas break, their preschool has been transitioning the girls to the next level to a classroom with other kids their age and older. They are sad to leave their favorite Miss Shannon but have been really doing well with the older kids. Bella has been talking in small sentences and Lily can successfully drink from a cup! They've done so well with the big kids that I decided that now was the time to introduce them to another class.

The girls got their first taste of ballet class. At their first class, Bella jumped right in with the big kids and danced her little toes off as best she could. Lily was a little leery and just watched outside the room. Later, Lily warmed up with daddy and was ready for her second try a few days later.

The girls also deputed their dancing technique at their annual preschool holiday performance held at Pierce College this year. As Brittany Spear's sons also attend the same school, security was pretty tight as their was a rumor that she was going to attend that night's festivities. Rumors begin for a reason, I learned as we could barely drive in the parking lot where a man (that I later learned was Brittany Spear's escort) backed into our new family car. Luckily the damage was not as extensive to my car as it was to his.

The next week we took the girls to the Staples Center to see Disney on Ice. Tinker Bell is quite the gal around this house!
