Last week Evette had her Christmas party at pre-school. They worked up a couple of songs to sing and it was adorable. Evette did so well with the singing and all the little dance moves.
Here she is with a couple of her buddies.
On one of our Saturdays we went down to Palo Alto to see the annual
Christmas Creche Exhibit. It was amazing! The whole church was transformed! Every inch was decorated and beautiful. They had a marionette show for the kids...
...and Christmas crafts....
...and dress up...
....and nativities to play with.
In other rooms they had hundreds of nativity scenes from all over the world. They were stunning! I love nativity sets - they are so beautiful and each one has story to tell, but they all testify of the beautiful story of our Savior's birth.
From the sublime to the ridiculous - we went out to do some shopping at the mall and Santa was there with no line, so we went to go visit him. Evette was excited and Miriam was terrified.
Evette also got to go with Daddy to finish up some work. She is a great little worker. She made some posters for his office.

On December 7th I had my Christmas choir concert. It was a fun concert with a lot of great pieces including quite a few sing a longs. Sean brought the two babies and sat with them through the concert. The girls did great and Evette loved that we sang a version of Jingle Bells! Both girls were quiet and somewhat attentive for the hour long concert. Sweet babies. Sean gets a gold medal for being husband of the year and dad of the year for bringing the two babies by himself to my concert.
Haircut time! I like it!! haha.
Evette saw some neighbors decorating their bush in their front yard and she wanted to add some decorations to ours as well! We pulled out some pipe cleaners and beads and she went right to work making some ornaments.
She was so cute working on those ornaments and took such care to hang them all up!
And then she took a step back to examine her work and fell into our rose bush. It was so sad! Her head was tender for a few days, but that's the extent of her injuries, thank goodness!!
Last week we had a ton of rain! It was supposed to be a massive storm, but it wasn't anything too crazy in our area - just a lot of rain.
Sean got to work from home that day because his whole office was shut down. Here's working from home in PJs. Evette likes to practice her ABCs while Daddy works.
She's getting quite good at her letters! She can write most of them on her own! S and R are the trickiest for her. Here she is with some letters from her name made out of her snacks! There's an E, V, and T.
Doesn't Miriam make a beautiful princess?
Miriam got her first pony tail this week!! She's getting so big! I cannot believe it! Notice the bruises on her head - learning how to be mobile is tricky!
