Christmas show at Hillcrest Preschool

Keira's preschool put on a Christmas program, and I was so impressed that the kids were able to stay in line on stage! Keira was shy on the stage at first, but she warmed up after the first song. They performed to "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" and "jingle bells.". I'm glad I got Keira a swirly dress, because she was swishing it from side to side to the beat of the music. Too cute!

Keira's teacher, Miss Johanna, had put a lot of work into the show. She put Keira's hair into her first pigtails! I'm not sure how she managed to scrape her few strands of hair into pigtails. She also made her two hair clips to wear during the show. It definitely made the Keira's Christmas outfit more cute!

Santa appeared after the show was done, but Keira didn't want to get close.

My only regret is that I didn't bring my real camera!! I didn't think of it till we were in the car. Sigh ... At least I have a camera on my phone.

Sea world playdate

Today we had a Playdate at Sea World our neighborhood friends, Carly and Lina. Lina and Keira are completely adorable together. They love to hold hands and are sweet to each other, which is rare for toddler friendships! Lina calls Keira "Kiki"!

First we went to feed the ducks at Paradise Point, which is something that Matt and I do with Keira sometimes, and then we go to have drinks at the Barefoot Bar. Usually we go in the early evening, and the ducks are mellow. This time it was early morning, and the ducks were ravenously hungry and they attacked us and stole the food bags!! I was freaking out, but Keira was cool as a cucumber. She is a very brave little girl.

After that, we went to Sea World and the girls got to meet Elmo! It was a dream come true for them - they both ran up to Elmo without hesitation and gave him a hug. What is it about Elmo that makes kids love him SO much?
