We had a great Christmas! It didn’t snow, so Zane was able to hangout with us all day. Here are a few pictures from Christmas morning! Zane gave Barrettt a cookie, so not only does he have eczema on his face but there is also cookie all over it as well! If you click on the last picture you can see a slide show of more pictures.

Kyla fell asleep playing her new game Madagascar!

Kyla and Barrett opened their jammies on Christmas Eve! I tried to get a picture of both of them by the tree. It usually never seems to work like you want it to, so this is what I got! I took puppy from Kyla and that is why she has a sour face.

Kyla put out a plate of cookies and milk for Santa. She also wrote Santa a note and drew a picture for him. She was so excited that he ate them all!

Our tree, there aren’t ornaments on the bottom two feet, because Barrett likes them so much!

I have not taken the kids to see Santa at the mall. Last week after a friend told us about Santa’s Wonderland at Bass Pro Shops, we thought we would go check it out! Of course being at Bass Pro Shops helped the decision.

Here is a picture that I took of Santa’s Wonderland from the second story. The following pictures are of some of the animals that they have throughout the store.

We wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas!

While I am waiting for Kyla to get up I thought I would make a post! Kyla has been wanting to decorate her gingerbread man house, as she calls it. So on Monday night that is what she did!

It looks like Kyla is following in my footsteps. However, I think I was 5 or 6 before I broke my arm (the first time). She was jumping from the couch to the lovesac. Zane had asked her to settle down. A few moments later she was crying on the couch holding her right arm, Zane checked on her and she proceeded to use her arm and carry on as if she was ok. This happened Thursday night (the 11th). On friday, I was giving her a bath and when I took her shirt off she complained about her arm. So on Saturday, yup Saturday, we took her into the Children’s After Hours at Littleton Hospital. The Doctor thought that she probably just dislocated her elbow, but Kyla would still not move her arm, so they took an xray and sure enough she had a small buckle. Boy did I feel bad, she must be tougher than I am. We left the Hospital with a splint and on Wednesday (the 17th) we went in to get a cast!

I am trying to update my blog to make it current! So these are the final pictures I am posting of our visit with family over Thanksgiving!

Barrett loves to hold on to your hands and walk!

or Mati as Kyla calls it! I love it when the Abuelos visit or we visit them because every morning we have Mate! My mom was giving Barrett a try, but he seemed more interested in putting his fingers in the mate then drinking it! And of course Kyla loves it.

This is what my family looks like first thing in the morning!!

David, Kyla, Abuela and I went out for a walk by my mom’s house. There are these red dumpsters and I thought they could make a backdrop. So the first shot is of Kyla and David against the dumpster (I am not really sure what they are looking at), to see a shot of just David check out my photo blog. These pictures were taken a few days before Thanksgiving!

Wow, I can’t believe it has taken me this long to post this. We spent Thanksgiving at my parents this year. David and Vanessa came out, as well as the Abuelos and Shar! It was a wonderful meal, Thank You MOM!! These are just some pictures from Thanksgiving day. I will post more of our visit with David and Vanessa as well as the Abuelos!!

Here is our attempt at a family picture.

This is one of Barrett’s favorite way to hang!

Having fun with the Abuelos!!

Oh and Chocolate. So, when I saw these Andes Mint baking chips at Wal-mart I just had to get them. They make the yummiest cookies. And I couldn’t resist taking their picture!! I just used the recipe on the bag!
