Christmas memories...

The pictures tell who and where and the order tells when...

What else is there to say?

Owen gave Poppa Steve a gift of...

Little pink baby socks!

wondering what to do with them...

Don't think they'll fit!

"Thanks anyway, Owen!"  :-)

Mae Mae can't get enough of these!

Then on to Wisconsin...

Santa had to come while the kids at lunch on Saturday 

because we would be leaving on Sunday 

and he'd be really confused where to leave the presents!

But Mimi still had time to wrap presents for all to open that night...

yes, we extend the occasion as long as we can! 

Gramma Momma was thankful because 

wraping, taping, and ribbon-ing was difficult for her this year.

Mario cooked us an amazing Mexican fiesta...

Rog helped with the tedious tamale-making process...

and really got into it!

The presents got under the tree and were guarded closely.

Xavi so wanted to play with the packages!

How could you not love this face?  That curl? Those eyes?

Mimi and Owen had tickle matches...well, actually, Owen just got tickled by Mimi.  

She even did some "chasing" around the house.  :-)

Uncle Rog!

Grampa made some home-made pies...and got some "help" too!

Auntie Emmy made some time to play Santa Claus too and wrap some presents.

Got it!  I got one shot of both kids in front of the tree...

Owen made a nice list ("nis")...

and a naughty list ("node")...

Got to love phonics!  :-)

I smile...

If only Gabby would poop on the potty...then we could sign her up for gymnastics!

 

Gramma Momma...what more could she ask for???

 What will Christmas be like next year???
