Christmas Break Highlights (not previously mentioned)


Ward Christmas Party
Raquel was the Star
The best picture I could get with Santa.
None look very excited (Raquel knows he is not the real Santa).

Favorite Christmas lights decoration
(This was next door to a house that was all lit up with synchronized music and all. I so want to do this if ever I have neighbors that go all out on their Christmas lights.)


Christmas Eve Celebrations
The kids table.
The grown up table.

Cousins' Gift Exchange

Christmas Morning

Baby seemed content with cardboard.

Dress up game night
Minnie Mouse, Fabio, Cow Girl, Mexican Folk Dancer, & Hassin


Typical morning sight...
The girls insisted on climbing into our double bed with us.

Wonderful Snow
From day one, the girls wanted so badly to go out and play...
We waited until it got up to the 30's before we bundled them up and set them loose.


Lorena Grace Turns 1!
Although not quite sure about the cake at first, all she had to do was try it...


New Year's Eve Sleepover at the Rogers'.

In all it was a wonderful break.  Thank you to family and friends for making it so memorable.  Although we are glad to be back in the nice 75 degree weather of southern California, we sure miss you all!

So cute! And you looked pretty excited in the Santa picture. Haha! I can't believe your "baby" is 1! That means my baby is almost there too! AHHHH!

"Ditto" that is hilarious. It looks like you guys had a really good time. Too bad the break wasn't just a little bit longer.
