Alex' holiday pagent



What a wonderful evening that was to see Alex's class plus 2 others performing 2 Christmas songs. They sang Jingle Bell Rock and Must be Santa. There was also choreographed dance moves that were not to be missed. I have a video of it, but I cant seem to figure out how to upload it! LOL.

Gingerbread cookie time

















We had so much fun decorating gingerbread men cookies. Of course the best part was eating them!

Christmas decorating!!!!!

It was time to hang our christmas lights today. All of us were so excited since it was the first time we got to actually hang lights. We've always had to just decorate the balcony, which Jose always did a very creative job! Here is Daddy and Michael hanging the lights, notice our brand new ladder, purchased just for today.
Alex and Bella enjoying the fun.

Our newest addition. I just couldnt resist this chubby little penguin.



Our creation at night! It was so lovely to see all of this. The icicle lights are especially meaningful to me. When I was a young mother living at home with my mom, we wanted icicle lights so bad, but we couldnt afford them. So, my mom and spent hours trying to drap our regular lights into icicles. We always said one day we would hang the real ones. Well so many years later I finally did. I wish my mom was here to enjoy the beauty of them with me.


Our 6th Anniversary


This is what I got for Jose. He has been wanting a hardshell gig case for so long and I got a great deal on this one. It is so awesome, it has a brown tweed and leather exterior, so retro and SO Jose. Look how cool his guitar looks in it!

This is the romantic gift he got me, a warm and decorative room heater. This house gets so cold and for a few weeks I have been shivering and freezing so he got me this wonderful gift! He even gets up early in the morning before me and turns it on so it warms up the bathroom or family room before I go in there. Now, that is true romance!


Baking for Thanksgiving



Alex and I decided to bake banana and pumpkin bread for Thanksgiving. We had a great time together. He is a great helper in the kitchen.
