Two little girls = two holiday musicals

Last week, the girls had their holiday musicals at the school on two separate evenings. The ladies got all dolled up in the holiday dresses that daddy bought for them and were happy to perform! They only sang 5 songs, but hey, they had fun and that is all that matters! After their performances, daddy was there to give them a hug and a beautiful bouquet of roses. This was Giselle's first musical and she was so nervous before we left the house that we were going to be late! Enjoy the photos!

18 More Days Until Christmas!!!

The countdown is ON!! The elves are magically moving around our household every night and the girls wake up with excitement everyday only to discover where they are next. Every evening includes a walk over to the advent calendar, in which Isabella and Giselle fish into the little square to find out what they have received on that day. Whether it is a small toy or piece of candy, they look forward to their gift! Giselle baked chocolate chip cookies with her elf the other evening and they wore matching outfits. She was SO EXCITED. And then there is Santa.....Giselle and Isabella visited him and told him everything that they want for Christmas. They both sat on his lap and glowed with excitement and anticipation as they explained what they wanted. Gone are the days where they are afraid of Santa and crying! Tonight and tomorrow, they are each in a holiday musical at their school. It's beginning to look alot like Christmas........

Happy December 1st!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....Over the weekend we decorated the house together and the girls were super excited. Especially for you KNOW WHO...the elf on the shelf! Not to mention SANTA! I don't know about you, but I LOVE homemade gifts from the HEART! They are made with LOVE, CREATIVITY, PASSION, HEART and so much more! I took a few snap shots of some favorite homemade "decoration" gifts that have been given to us/me throughout the years and can't stop SMILING, each and every time that I pull them out because they are only seen once a year. THANK YOU...and you know who you are!! The elves at the Vail household have been crafting homemade gifts.... Cheers to a fun, joyous month of spirit, love, family and friends! Take time out to SMILE, LOVE, give lots of HUGS but most importantly, appreciate one another! Watching these two little girls LIGHT UP with excitement is a blessing! XOXOXO
