Christmas Re-Cap

December 27, 2011 Leave a Comment

We hope you’re Christmas was as sweet as ours! Though we are still trying to get back into the swing of things, we can’t wait for this year to end and for the new year to start!
I will be posting irregularly this week and next but should be back to the normal posting schedule once the new year starts!

Our Christmas Eve was very busy! We visited Santa late this year so we spent most of the morning waiting in a line to see him. Overall the visit was great. I wish my little ones had smiled a little more though.

We also had the chance to Skype with my family from CA they were busy preparing for the holidays in Tijuana! I wanted to be there so bad but having a long conversation that included Christmas Carols was by far the next best thing! I love my family and little man  and little lady were excited to see their uncles, Nina, and of course Grandma and Papuchoni!
The best part was when Papuchoni dressed up as Santa for the kids. They were a lot more giggly then the morning Santa visit! My dad was an amazing Santa!!!

Christmas eve 2011
Christmas morning was a very warm one for us. The kids woke up looked at the gifts under the tree and just starred. We had to encourage them to touch and open the gifts. 
Santa was very Eco-friendly this year. Wish less than half of his gifts wrapped lol. OK so i waited til last minute to wrap. I decided to use brown paper bags, markers and tape to make these cool reindeer gifts! My inspiration came from a you tube video I saw… sorry can’t member the name :/  
The kids got their requested “spider man & da da dora ipads” they wanted leap pads and so we went crazy looking for them but finally got our hands on them. They also got these adorable matching Monkey sleeping bags.

Later that evening the family came over for dinner. The kids were yet again spoiled rotten by grandmommy. pop pop, uncle yeye(hubs twin brother) and uncle and aunty!
The hubs twin is finally back in town and so the kids have been having a blast hanging out with him. When the kids finally saw him they were confused because they knew who he was off of skype but hadnt been around him since little man was 7months(little lady wasn’t even born yet) they warmed up to him quick. Now they enjoy being spoiled by him. The rest of the night was amazing. 
Best of Christmas 2011
We finished it off with some fun gaming on the Nintendo Wii. We played the new mario and even the bowling! I happened to win yay! The whole family was included and cheering on each others teams! Stay tuned for a post with video of us having a blast!
