Christmas

CHRISTMAS has always been my favorite time of the year, so here is what been up to

I was really lucky this year to find myself a play train to go under my Christmas tree. Ever since I was a little girl I've wanted one and I happened to find one at Smith's for only $15, so proud of myself.

The kids and I love playing with it. Our favorite thing to do now is lay on the floor of our front room at the end of the day and watch it go around.

Christmas morning was great, everyone had a great time. We woke up at eight and actually had to get the kids up, not bad for Christmas morning.











What was I thinking,  I probably wasn't thinking, when I decided I would snap my own kids picture's in front of our tree and mail it with our Christmas card. I never thought it could be so hard to get two kids to look at you at the same time. I am just glad that perseverance paid off at the end. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Pictures with Santa

I have taken the kids with me to do one of my shops at the Roy's Harmons, to my surprise Santa was there. The kids had their pictures taken with Santa and he gave them cute little Santa mugs.

This was a wonderful surprise specially when you have to pay $20 to get your picture taken with Santa anywhere else.

The most enjoyable things we did this Christmas:

We took the kids to templ Square to see the lights. It was a very cold night and although we almost froze to death we had a cute time and were able to make some fun memories.
 

I love buildng our gingerbread house each year.  This was the first year that Julia was really into helping put the candy on the house instead of eating it.

Last but no least, we had our Christmas party. We invited all of our family over to enjoy some ecuadorian dishes and then we finished it up with home-made hot chocolate.
