Holiday Happenings

 The girl's ballet "school" did a production of the Nutcracker.  Their class was the snowflake class.  The show was pretty chaotic, but everyone had fun.

 Camille and Grace had a lot of audience support from their friends and my family who came.

 Around 11 pm on Christmas Eve after we got the bikes built.  We went to my parent's house that day and had fun being with the fam.  Here are some excerpts from the girl's prayers that night:
Grace:  "Thank you for baby Jesus and that it's Christmas"
Camille:  "Please help Santa to get here safely tonight"

 On Christmas morning the girls snuck out "to go to the bathroom" and to check out their gifts.  We could hear them whispering in their room about "bikes....whisper whisper.... bikes!"  We made them wait until Clark woke up to open their gifts, although we let them break into their stockings.

And a hippo too!
Finally after breakfast we went out to ride bikes.  At this point, Camille had fallen down a driveway, so everyone was a little wary of falling again.  And both girls got off their bikes about 100 feet from the end of tbe block so they could walk their bikes across the street.
Concentrating
Sad not to be riding or just sleepy?

I hope that your Christmas was just as grand!
