Desert family dinner

We had a desert family dinner on Sunday night.
We had such a great time!
It was an ugly sweater party and boy were there some ugly ones.
I wish I had taken more pictures so that you could see just how ugly some of these sweaters were.


Nana opened my gift during the gift exchange.
It was some fun wine things and a bottle of "Sofa King Bueno."
It was hilarious to listen to her read the label over and over.
Say it fast... sofa king bueno.
Sounds even better when it comes out of Nana's mouth!

A sleepover and ice skating

This past Friday Jacob came over to play and have a sleepover.
We went to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory and then the kids played "Gooey Louie," watched "Despicable Me 2" and built legos.





Saturday morning Omar and Ebit came over and had a fun idea to go ice skating.
We all headed to UTC and had so much fun!





Elle was such a good girl and sat with me and watched everybody skate by.

Frozen

Last Monday evening we took Emma to see Frozen.
It was adorable and so much fun to see it with Emma.


Thanks to Abuelita for watching Elle!

Christmas dinner

After all of the fun at our house, we headed up to my Uncle Ruben and Aunt Kelleen's house for Christmas dinner.
 The weather was crazy... in the high 70's.
The kids all had a great time in the hot tub.

Ricardo really liked the Vans that Elle got him.

 And Caitlyn was excited with the gift card Emma got for her.



 Back: Daniella, David and Sabrina
Front: Angie and Magali

 Elle was such a good girl but she needed a little nap with all of the excitement.



Christmas morning

 We had a wonderful Christmas.
We started out with the girls opening their Santa gifts.

 Emma was so excited that she got her big pink bear.

Elle loved her Chica doll.


 Elle got a bag of "balls" (marshmallows).

 She kept hugging her Caillou doll.

Then Aunt Lizzy, Uncle Omar and Jacob came over and joined in on the fun.

 Emma was so happy that Elle picked out the Mooshka doll that she wanted.

Doug loved the shirt I found for him.

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with family.
We all went to church together and then came to our house for dinner.





 Time to open our Christmas jammies!

 Doug read "Twas the night before Christmas."

 We had a special cake to celebrate Lulu's last day with us.

Emma made sure to set a plate out for Santa and his reindeer.
