Briana's Christmas Party

So Blessed to be on Maternity Leave since 12/14/12 afternoon! Thank you Jesus! Since I've been home, I was able to attend my 3 year old's Christmas Party :) She was so happy to see Mommy, Daddy and Little "Budder".

Christmas Parade

Kicked off the 1st of December with our traditional CHRISTmas Parade in Downtown Dallas! Woke up alittle earlier than normal, made some delicious homemade egg with chorizo burritos, abuelita hot chocolate, and sweet Mexican bread (conchas). Mmmm, while Jared packed the lawn chairs, stroller, and blankets in the back of our suv. The weather was PERFECT! It felt much warmer than it did last year.

Breakfast with Santa

 

Well, it started off as a "surprise" in the advent calendar but it accidently slipped when I told Briana, "you need to go night-night because we are going to eat breakfast with Santa" Whoops! and Denyce heard that. After that, the girls were really excited. It was nice not having to cook breakfast and clean up afterwards :) We all enjoyed the variety in breakfast food items and taking pics with Santa. Later we played games at Amazing Jakes. The highlight was when Jared won a huge bouncy ball for Eli on his first try. We were all rooting for him and even had a small crowd cheering him on. Eli was elated! Daddy is his "hero" :)

Thanksgiving 2012

Here are some sweet pictures of our Thanksgiving Feast: First part at my little sister's with an Arabic spin and next at my mother in laws - very tradtional with a southern spin. Both very very delicious! P.S. I made both my girls "pumpkin" shirts from orange tulle and "turkey" shirt complete with "feathers" on his back for my little butterball :)
