We Wish You an Awesome Christmas

Christmas morning

Santa has come!

The kids anxiously wait in the hallway to see what Santa has brought (yes, that's my childs name on the wall. In chapstick and not removeable unless you paint over it! But, that's another story)

Their first look at the surprises Santa left...priceless!!

A telescope for Eden...

A crib set for Lola

A Rody horse for Roman

books, too (his favorite thing)

A boy baby doll

Roller skates for Miss Eden

Turtle Bounce for Roman

Ahh! Christmas in California! We wake up to a bright, full sunny day and Mt. Diablo! So majestic! It's a beautiful crisp morning. The kids are nestled all snug in their beds with individual trees under their loft beds all aglow. Santa has visited their tiny Christmas trees first before having to unload a whole sleigh full of presents under and around our Christmas tree in the living room. Not to mention the collossal stockings hanging near the fireplace. Yes, there must have been some very very good girls and boy that live here (of course!). Or, they have been blessed with a very sweet, loving generous Nana who loves loves loves her grand kids so and a couple of doting parents, too! Or a combination of all thee above.
 Eden got a telescope, roller skates, swimming fins, Fijit Friends...you name it! Lola got a doll house, crib and highchair set, dolls, etc! Roman a Rody horse, Bouncing Turtle fun, Talking Zoo, scooter, etc! They were beyond thrilled! The looks on their faces was priceless! Next, off to Nana's house for more presents and dinner!

After opening our presents and getting all dressed and pretty we visit Roman's "adopted grandma," Gladine. She was alone this Christmas so we wanted to visit with her and bring her a little present. She was most grateful and sursprised to see us. She just loves Roman so much! He always talks about her, too. Calls her Adine. She spoils the kids with some chocolates and candy canes and off we go to Nana's house...

I think the picture's say it all. We all had such a wonderful time at Nana's house! The kids ripped through their presents here, too! And yes, Santa was very good to the kids and all of us, too. The kids got their Pillow Pets, Eden got her DS 3D, Lola and Roman were very happy with their gifts, too.
This Christmas was very special and memorable! I just feel so happy and complete with my little family. We all love our home and feel so blessed to have each other. We are so very lucky to have family so close to us and so very supportive. The kids love their family so much (both near and far)and they want to be around them all the time.
Santa was quite good to me, too. Did I mention that Enrique bought me a candy apple red Kitchen Aid mixer from Williams and Sonoma?  And My mom bought me a set of my formal china and tons more! It was a good Christmas for all of us. And being together made it even more special. Here is to a very happy and healthy New Year to come.
