Merry Christmas!

Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. I can recall, that as a little girl my favorite presents were the dolls. This year, I had my own little doll! It was so much fun opening her many presents and see her little face as she smiled or tried to reach out for her toys. The truth is, that just like mommy, she loves dolls! Christmas Eve was so much fun and full of food. We decided that we wanted to host the party. We were a total of six families and it couldn't of been better. For dinner we had the usual tamales and the hubby decided that he wanted to make a taquisa. I was incharge of the charro beans. I absolutly love to eat them but had no idea how to make them. That day in the morning I called my mom and she explained how to make them and so I did them as she said. The end result was great although I really though they were going to be a disaster! After dinner we had the karaoke going and we had a blast with it. with all the singing and laughing it felt that 1200 came by so soon. We all went into our living room and did the gift exchange followed by opening all the gifts we had for each other. Gigi got so many gifts that it took me a very long time to open them all! we were all amazed because even though she is only 2 months, she seemed to enjoy the night and opening her gifts. I received many gifts too but the best was my EVO phone that my love got for me.


On christmas morning we woke up and opened Santa's gifts for Gigi. My parents came over to make some pozole at my hose for luch and they helped me clean the house a little. At night, a bunch of Joe's friends showed up for dinner and some karaoke. I had some girl time with the wifes, drinking coffee and eating cookies while we talked and waited for the food to come out. It went better than I thought it would. I actually enjoyed their company.

Today Sunday, I was too lazy to go to mass. We stayed home all day and just layed around the house. I cooked lunch and then cleaned the livingroom, dinning room adn the kitchen. Now I just wait for my Joe to come home with some pizza.

It had been so long since I had a christmas so special that I could remember it in years. I know that this christmas will forever live in my memory. It was my first christmas as a mommy and my first christmas hosting at my house. I guess no gift will ever be better than being able to enjoy a christmas with my Alessandra and my Joe. They are the loves of my life.

Our New House

Well hello!

As the year comes to an end, I am reflecting on the many blessings this year has given us. One of those blessings has been our house. It's a three bedroom, two bath, dinning room, living room, beautiful kitchen, two car garage and a nice size backyard to see my little princess run around when the right time comes. We got the keys to our home right about two weeks before Gigi was able to be in our arms. I remember that all I could do was give orders because I was too big to stand alot, or carry stuff. Thanks to my husband and family along with some extra hands most thing got in oreder and I had some time to rest. Here are some pictures of our home. I am missing pictures of some areas but I'll post those later.

Gigi's room:

The princess has two closets full of clothes and those shoes you see have just about doubled! haha spoiled little girl! Oh and I know those seem like alot of pictures of me in her room but the one in the wall will go to my mom's as soon as she gets her new house. The 8x10 will go somewhere....just don't know where, and she keeps the one with mommy pregnant and mommy and daddy together.

Anyway lets go to the master bedroom now!

By the way, that old, almost black and white TV was replaced with a 40" plasma on black friday! Gotta love the hubby!

Finally, take a look at the guest bedroom:

That is all for now. I owe you all the outside, the kitchen, living room, dinning room, garage , and backyard! I'll try to get them to you as soon as all the christmas decorations come down. I hope you all enjoyed the small tour of our nest!
