Happy Birthday Jesus! (Christmas Day)

According to Brycen it was the BEST Christmas EVER, and I will have to agree. It was so much fun watching the kids open there gifts. Aurbynn had to wear her sunglasses opening every gift, Braden said "Oh Wow" to everything, and Brycen had the biggest smile he could possibly have all morning. He sure did make out this year getting everything he wanted. Santa brought Aubrynn a kitchen, but her favorite gift is her Moxie girl guitar. Santa brought Braden a Kawasaki push around dirt bike which he loves, but so far his "bam bam" (gun) is his favorite. I finally got my electric can opener..lol And Brandon loved what he got too. My in-laws came in around 11am, we ate some tamales and away my mother in-law went to get the turkey into the oven. Later that day, my Grandma Hernandez, Chantelle, and my step mom Pat came over and played Santa to the kids. Then around 5ish we finally sat down for Christmas Dinner. After dinner we relaxed, watched some T.V. and enjoyed the fire. I would have to say all in all it was a GREAT DAY!

Christmas Eve...

What an adventure Christmas Eve was! We had some running around to do, which was crazy, then got everyone ready for service at 5pm, and made it through worship but the kids were being extremely loud so we had to leave. Went home had some dinner, open our jammies then off to bed for the kidos.. Brandon spent all night putting together Aubrynns kitchen, and in the mean time I decided to bake. Good thing we made it to bed before midnight so Santa could come. :)

Braden's 2nd Birthday...

I can't believe our baby is 2 years old now. It has gone by so incredibly fast. Time seriously needs to slow down!! But in the mean time we celebrated his Birthday today. We had lots of kids, bouncy clown, ate lots of food, played pin the tail on the donkey, and finally beat up a Spongebob the pinata. It was a cold misty day but it turned out great. I finally got to meet my neighbor, and looks like we will be good friends. Thank you all who came, and celebrated this wonderful day. Happy Birthday baby boy!

Christmas Cookies...

Another year of Christmas cookies.. For the first time Brycen made his favorite cookies Butterballs. He couldn't wait until they were dusted with powder sugar to eat them. The little ones decorated sugar cookies. They enjoy making cookies either from scratch or the Pillsbury ones. Brandon is excited because he will have cookies for days. I really want to get some recipes for some different kinds of cookies. So if you have one, please email it to me at atxgrl4ever@aol.com. Thanks and Happy Holidays..
