We stayed close to home for at least one weekend after, with many trips to the park and playing in the backyard, along with neighborhood walks which were enhanced due to splashing in the this year's first rain puddles!
The next weekend we celebrated the LA Galaxy Championship victory with great friends at the Bakx's. Then Mommy spent some off the field time for a Christmas Exchange with some soccer buddies. The rest of the month was spent preparing for the Holiday season and enjoying each other, great job with house lights Daddy, and of course getting and decorating the Christmas Tree!
The last weekend we were all TREATED, thanks to the Harpers, with a wonderful Friday at the Staples Center for Disney on Ice (Dare to Dream)! An amazing suite with all the food catered to a 4 year old that anyone would love! Cienna couldn't take her eyes off of the show! We all admit it was pretty cool, but still more fun just to see Cienna's face.
Lastly the month ended with Kaylee's newly furnished bedroom with fresh, custom glitter painted, furniture including a "big girl bed!" Cienna also got to raise her bed up to an even "bigger" girl bed and a new desk with chair to do her "homework" on once Kindergarten begins in the fall.
Cienna had her first Dental X-rays this month at her appointment which went without a glitch, she loves the dentist although some day will most likely get braces. She continues to enjoy dance and really wants to begin soccer and gymnastics soon. She gets to wear her "tying" shoes to school now, as she can tie them all by herself, and has even began to perfect the double knot. She masters in the art of layering her clothes so that she can still wear her dresses in the winter time as well.
Kaylee is a reminder that this age is inevitably an advancing one! Every day it seems like a month has past since yesterday. Her vocabulary and attitude are continuously accelerating! We, including Kaylee herself, love to learn more and more about her personality. She's beginning to listen to stories, pretends to read them using the pictures on the page, and from memory of course. She has began to enjoy drawing and coloring (scribbling) but likes to show how she draws circles, squares, and the letter A!
The girl's relationship is completely amazing to watch. Sometimes we feel left out because they enjoy each other so much, but they always welcome us to join their play too! It's pretty cool to see them getting to the ages that they both learn from each other.
We are all thankfull for what we have!
