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.
