Christmas Day

It's Christmas morning!



Me, before I saw what Santa brought me....still tired.

I have my tongue out and I am smiling from ear to ear and I am speechless!

Papa's stocking, Mom's, and Laura's!
I am getting Laura with my claw as she is marveling at the chocolate raspberry M&Ms

We go the Nativity Story.

and lots of food!
Spanish version of Taboo!
Shirt and iron-ons from Miriam and Brooks.
Clothes from Mam-maw.
Sporting my snap cowboy shirt.
Went to Ron and Kathy's for a delicious Christmas dinner. She had it decorated so nicely.

Laura and Dena. Later we played taboo, battleship, and cards. I went to the park and watched Winnie the Pooh.



Jesus's birthday cake with bleeding hearts. Haha. It was delicious. Mom splurged and bought a box cake from the American Store. Thanks to the Weems I could put the hearts on there!
the next morning I couldn't wait to play in my kitchen.
I opened another package form Mam-maw. A talking Mater stocking full of airplanes, helicopters, trucks, and cars!

Nana sent me a package full of fun Christmas crafts stuff to make ornaments, cards, and decorations!
Pop and Mawmaw sent me a package that got here the next day, too, and I got a fun Little People construction set and a hooked on phonics that helps me learn my numbers.
I am sporting my iron-on shirt that Mom made out of my gift from Talley.

I love it all and want to thank you for all for making my Christmas special.

Merry Christmas!!

We are so grateful for the Christmas this year. It is way better than last year because we have furniture in our apartment and more Christmas decorations. What a blessing!

A package from the Weems

Thanks you for our package full of fun Christmas stuff.



We got candy canes, two stories-the classic T'was the Night Before Christmas and one about the animals in the stable when Jesus was born.
And...bath and body works soap-for our scenting pleasure! Mommy's favorite! Also the movie "A Christmas Story, some fat Crayons, and some food coloring and pecans!

Mom's pecan chocolate-chip pie that she was inspired to make!


I was studying the colorful pictures in my T'was the night before Christmas book.

Muchisimo gracias, Los Weems!!! We love you and appreciate you!!

Dinner with Friends

We went to a dinner for young adults at our church this past Saturday. I was sweet with Ariana. I don't know what it is with me and the ladies.

We enjoyed tapas and laughing together especially at me being a ham-bone.
Katie and Laura joined us and they enjoyed the practice speaking Spanish.
One of my hammy gestures.
I didn't want to wear Maurim's (girl on the left) hat so Mom put it on.
Our two sweet friends D'amaris and her husband Miguel. They are a precious couple that had us over for dinner the other night.
Group shot!

The New Guest Room

Part of Mom's Christmas present from Papa was a painted guest room. I got to help and Papa finished it.






Mama was so happy!! So, now we need some visitors! We have some coming in January and February! Yay!! The pictures are of doors taken in Portugal,France and Spain.

My Own Tree!

So, my sweet girl friend Talley sent me this awesome tree that is my very own. I was so thrilled about it and it made me feel very special.
Look at my cool ornaments....yeah, I know she loves me. She knows what I like...trucks and cars!

Then the topper! It was complete.
I love it! Thank you, Talley (and Aunt Miriam and Uncle Brooks)!
The next best thing was playing in the box with the peanuts!
