Christmas 2008!

We had a great Christmas this year!! Unfortunately I forgot to take very many pictures!! I was so caught up in the moment of everything I didn't take any pictures until it was all over!! But Haley Weston and Fox had a wonderful Christmas morning! We all got things that we aked for and enjoyed the morning together as a family!! Tinkerbell got a new coller, at the request of Haley, it was one of the things Haley asked Santa to bring! Doesn't she look cute, well Haley sure loves it!

Haley and Weston immediately enjoying their Christmas gifts! They both LOVE to color!
I am so grateful for this year, and all the wonderful blessings that I have been given! We have really loved being here in Puerto Rico, especially since we've been back from our summer vacation! My life feels very full, I have 3 wonderful, beautiful children, a very handsome, hardworking, loving husband, a sweet little dog and all the basic necessities I could ask for! I don't always get every little thing I want, but I know that I am truly blessed!!! Also I have been truly blessed with some wonderful friends here in Puerto Rico and back in the states, what a wonderful life!

Beautiful Children!

So I just had to post these awesome pictures I got of my kids th other day! It was right before we left to go to my Friend Jojo's house for Christmas Eve and since they were all looking so nice and drssed up I decided to snap a few pictures, and this is what I got!! I couldn't believe it, they were all smiling! Then I had my friend Katie retouch them and this is how they turned out!!! So beautiful!!
This picture was taken by my friend Katie at the Christmas Eve party, doesn't Haley look so cute in this little train conductors hat!!
This was also a picture taken by the talented Katie Hatch of my little Fox!! I love his sweet expression here and how you can see the true color of his eyes!!! I feel so lucky to have such gorgeous children!

Christmas Eve

So here we are on Christmas Eve getting ready to eat our yummy Christmas Eve dinner! My friend 's the Whatcott's had me and my fmialy and the Hatch's over for dinner! It was so yummy! We had ham, cheesy potatoes, brocolli, salad, and homemade rolls, mmmm mmmm!! Fox loved this little bouncer chair so much that he fell asleeo sitting in it! What a sweetie!
We got together at the end and took some family pictures, Fox wasn't so happy, but everyone else looks good!!
This is Jojo, Travis and their two boys Hudson and Remy! This is their beautiful house where we all gathered and enjoyed the coveted central air they have!! As you can see more then one of us was taking a picture of them, but at least I got Remy looking at me!
This is Zach and Katie, the other family who was there, they also have a gorgeous little girl Mia!
We attempted to get a group picture of the kids and of all the ones I took this one was the best, despite the hand in the picture! I love how Remy is trying to take off Haley's hat and Hudson and Mia are looking at each other! It was such a fun Christmas eve with our friends here in Puerto Rico!!

Christmas Cookies!

So I'm trying to get caught up on my blog here, so Haley, Weston and I decided to make cookies the day before Christmas Eve! It was really fun, the kids helped roll out the dough and cut out the cookies, then we all decorated them!! After we finished we decided to bring them to our neighbors that we barely knew! I figured it was time to try and get to know them better since we have lived here for a year and a half now! But since they only speak spanish I have always made excuses! But we put the cookies together and added a pass along card on top and brought them to our neighbors! And it was really great! I was able to communicate with them and they were really sweet a nd appreciative!! Sorry about this picture, Weston really isn't flipping you off! He just had frosting on his fingers, ha ha, so funny!
Our finished product!! Don't they look yummy! The kids were very creative!
