We had a fun Christmas with just our family this year. We played all Christmas break long, we enjoyed baking goodies, lots of swimming and decorating a gingerbread house.
On Christmas day the kids got up early as usual and we were done opening presents by 7am and spent the rest of the day playing with our new toys. Christmas Eve we were able to attend our friends annual Feliza Natividad celebration and for Christmas day dinner we went over to our friends the Brian's. Not having to cook for two days made it a nice relaxing Christmas for me and the family.
Our best picture of all three kids in their Sunday Christmas outfits.

Natalya, Raquel and their newly decorated gingerbread house.
The kids quickly devoured the newly decorated house.
Marcus helped himself to the treats by getting up on the table.
Christmas Morning
Natalya helping Marcus unwrap his new dump truck
Raquel opening her new doll from Santa
Marcus got this monkey and loves having it hang around his neck.
He actually will bring it to me so that I can put it on him to walk around with.
Raquel showing off the kids new pellet gun.
Hopefully no one will poke their eye out.

Natalya with her new baby doll and toys.
She loved the baby that sucks on a binky and makes noise and cries.
Marcus and his new trucks
The kids got The Hungry Hippo game and loved spending the day playing with it.
Yay! You updated!! :) It looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas season. Such cute kids. I'm so glad you were together for the holidays. (Just in time for Michael to teach the kids how to shoot a beeby gun. haha. "You'll shoot your eye out...kid." Haha.)
ReplyDeleteI love that Michael was able to entertain the kids at Raquel's class with bandaging, etc. I bet that was so fun for Raquel and Natalya to show him off.
Swimming...Way to go, Raquel! You did an amazing job! I still can't believe how fast you are able to make it all the way down to the end of the pool. You make it look so easy. What a talent you have!
I loved looking at our pics together in Arizona. That was such a fun trip! I sure miss you guys and wish you lived closer, too.
Michael and Andrea, you both look great and so happy! Welcome back, Michael!! And congrats on the new little baby! Sure love you guys!
