Since my parents came out a week before Christmas, my mom was able to go to the Holiday Tea at Isabella's school. The children sang several songs and then enjoyed some goodies with their families.
Mama and Isabella
Bobu and Sienna watching Isabella's ballet class
Uncle Nathan got roped into playing "Pretty Pretty Princess"! Doesn't he make a very pretty princess?
Christmas Eve-the girls sprinkled "reindeer food" (oats and glitter) in the snow, so that Santa and his reindeer would be sure to find our house!
Treats and a note for Santa and his reindeer! We learned from one of our visits with Santa that he likes chocolate milk.
Christmas morning-Isabella tries on her new slippers!
Sienna admires her new slippers, too!
Mike gets the prize for coming up with the most creative/thoughtful gift this year. Since he knows that I like to do puzzles (and so do the girls), he and the girls made a puzzle for me for Christmas. Isabella and Sienna drew pictures on a piece of wood and then Mike cut it into pieces with his jigsaw. Aside from the potential splinters, this was a great idea! I loved it!
The girls were proud of their creation!
My assembled puzzle 
Sienna got a train set from Santa, so Bobu spent a long time setting the tracks up exactly as they were on the box. He's very meticulous!
We checked out a local shrine that puts up hundreds of thousands of Christmas lights each year. It's quite a sight!
Nana, Katy, Isabella, Sienna and I spent a Girls' Day Out at Disney Princesses on Ice. Isabella and I went to a similar show last year, but this was a first for Aunt Katy, Nana and Sienna! Isabella decided to get dressed up so Sienna followed suit.
Isabella was mad because I asked her not to do a princess wave in front of my face during the picture.
Could Bobu be in the Princesses on Ice show? He seemed to think so! 
Ready for the show to start!
Sienna was mesmerized by the show, but it startled her when some sparks went off several times. Here she said, "Sparks do this!" (with an exploding sound)

In addition to all of the holiday fun, my dad and Nathan helped Mike make some great progress on finishing our basement! They were "rockin' " (as in sheet rock, as my dad said). Yippee!!! It's coming along!

I'm so glad you all had a great time! I'm thinking all Bobu needs is a pretty dress and he's all set for his debut!!!!
