Christmas

Allthough the Economy was hard on many people this year. We have been very blessed and Christmas for our little family was great! And we were surrounded by lots of family and friends and Snow! Here is a picture of our Christmas tree, we are slowly collecting ornaments with sentimental value. (i.e. "Our first Christmas together," "Baby's first Christmas," ornaments we got on our Honeymoon, little basketballs, a Macaw parrot ornament we got in Costa Rica last May, etc.) We love it and hope that someday that will be all the ornaments we have up there, including homemade ornaments our kids willl make.

Anyway, like I was saying it was a fun Christmas. On Christmas eve, we opened a few gifts we recieved from Isaac's family and then we headed up to Logan to spend Christmas with my family. We had a lot of fun and on Christmas day and we were snowed in! We watched movies, and basketball and played with Benjamin. It was a relaxing Christmas. And then the day after, Gary fired up the tractor and shoveled us all out. Benjamin loved getting bundled up and going outside to play in the snow while everyone else worked to shovel us out.

The day after, I also had the chance to see two of my best girl friends, Marie and Lyssa. The best part is that we all have baby girls withing months of each other (well, mine will be here shortly). I can't wait to get together next year and see them all play together! I hope all of you out there also had wonderful a Christmas !

A cute new outfit from Nena! (Grandma Granados)

Christmas eve at my mom's house started out with Benjamin helping Grandma Rosa make cheescake! He especially liked licking the spatula afterward!

In front of Grandma's Christmas tree. Can't wait until Christmas morning!

Benjamin opening his first gift. What can it be??

Elmo!!!

He loves his Elmo Doll!

Benjamin loves grabbing the broom and helping Mommy sweep, so we had to get him one of his own. It's Sweeping Sam!

And off to work he goes!

Dad loved his new BYU Benie!

The Day after Christmas, Benjamin put on his snow gear to go tromping outside.

Ready!

Liz, Marie, Lyssa and baby girl Emma. We loved seeing each other!
