Snowy Christmas...well, really a snowy Papa's birthday!

Snow fight anyone????

What a wonderful way to wake up the day after Christmas.

Mica is not sure what to think...she just keeps saying, "Niiieeevvveee!"

A tree branch on the walking paths behind the house, heavy with snow.

Christmas Dinner

Chrsitmas Dinner 2010 with family and friends. Miguel and I bought new place settings and napkins for the occasion (we only had 3 matching plates before!). We even had to use a kiddie table.

We prepared the prime rib (which will be in our Christmas plans yearly now...yum!), ham, and salad. We thank our guests for all the other side dishes; they were delicious.

Micaela in her Christmas best, a gift from Rebecca :-)

Not to worry, that is just a little play dough in her hands.

Micaela and Lito are playing a game of "Frio" with ice cubes. It kept her occupied for quite a while :-)

The Big 3 - 0

I hope the 30's will be as great as the 20's :-)

Christmas 2010

We stayed home for Christmas this year. It was really fun having the kids wake up and run down the stairs to their Christmas presents :-) They both made a killing! Above you see Mateo decked out in his new PJs from his Aunt Korah and Uncle Nate.

Papa and Nannie got him a cape to go with his superhero gear (and Tio Matias came through with the action figure too). Halloween costume for next year????

Micaela loving the shoes she got from Tia Korah and Tio Nate :-)

In the video above, Mateo is opening the first present of the morning. It is from Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Kieth...as you can tell it is something he has been wanting. He has been playing with it ever since!
