Well, the house is decorated, the outside lights are complete and last night we had our first "Christmas outing" of the season... (wait! does black friday count?!) Abbey and Olivia were both in their schools choir Christmas performance. They did great at the singing, however I think the dressing up part was their favorite part of the entire evening. They looked pretty sweet, and Daddy thought they looked a little too pretty ; ) As we watched the program last night, visions of them all as toddlers seemed to keep going through my mind. Watching them, looking so beautiful, innocent, and singing a song like "O Holy Night" made me feel like they are just growing up so fast. It was one of those moments where their beauty, both inside and out makes your heart ache, and you think it was only yesterday when Makayla and Olivia were in flannel Christmas nightgowns that Grammie made them, with Barney slippers on. Or that little Abbey had no embarassment in stripping down to her tinkerbell panties to try on a new dress-up dress she just opened at her birthday party. So.... I tell myself to hold on to these moments, treasure them away in my heart, and enjoy the moments while they are here!
