Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was pretty chill.  We did the usual and spent Christmas Eve with my side of the family and Christmas Day with Manuel's side!

 

We played lots of games and got to catch up with family and eat lots of good food on Christmas Eve!
I didn't get a whole lot of pics of it but here are a few!











We had played a few games and one was blowing up balloons and stuffing them in nylons to make reindeer antlers lol!





I did Rudolf in the girls hair which turned out soo cute!

 

Christmas morning the kids were so excited to get their stalkings!

 

Then as soon as Manuel got home from work we started the gifts with the Medrano side!

 

Of course that was not all the gifts but you get the gist!

 

Then we ate a nice warm Christmas Dinner.  I also made a cherry pie for dessert and pumpkin but I didn't take a pic of that one cause it was still in the oven:-/

 

 

Since there was snow, we went outside afterward and made a Handsom Snowman and named him Andy!!

 

 

What fun it is to spend the Holidays with Family!!

 

 

Thanksgiving 2012

 

Thanksgiving this year was a lot of fun!!! We celebrated it with both families at the Granger High School! I'm not gonna go to much into detail, just by pictures you can see how fun it was!!

 

Table Centerpieces..

The little turkeys were made by us!

 

The girls helped make their own turkeys that I put in their hair!!

 

 

Everyone enjoying themselves eating and playing games!

 

We also had a bunch of missionaries for thanksgiving this year!

 

The "Newlyweds"

 

The Medrano's loving the food!

 

Reagren came up with games that we could play in the gym, it was sooo much fun!

Sam I Am is 2

My baby is 2 now!! It's amazing how time has flown by sooo fast... I can remember not that long ago I was just holding him in my arms rocking him to sleep.  Now he's so grown up and full of lots of energy, love and laughter!!

 

 

 

 

The girls and I got together and made him a birthday crown to make him feel extra special on his big day!

 

Happy birthday Samuel Josiah we all love you!



Toy Story for Halloween

I've always wanted to do Toy Story for Halloween, I just think that all the characters are cute and fun! When Isaiah wanted to be Buzz I was soo excited and all the kids decided they would go along with it and be toy story characters too! The kids really had fun going out and getting candy this year and got a lot of compliments on their costumes!

 

 

This year the kiddies were only able to wear their costumes at school for only the party. So we decided we would just do a cute hairstyle from our favorite website and then get into the costumes after school!

Halloween was fun and I love the joy it brings to the kids!

 

Happy Halloween!
