Christmas Fun!

The expression on Diego's face as they open up the family gift- "priceless!"

Christmas time was a day of celebration of Jesus' birthday! The kids seemed to anticipate it more and more as the day came...we started out with a game where the children had to find "Baby Jesus."

I hid the baby and Ben just happened to suggest where Tatiana should look, and low and behold... the game was over in less than two minutes!!! No fun!!!! But, she got the prize and we went on to open the presents... the day before the kids got the trapper keepers, that was so neat to see their reaction. Still truly grateful and excited...

Then, the next gift were nerf dart guns... thought Tatiana would like one, too, to play in the house with her brothers... and do you know what she said to me later? "Mami, why did you buy me a gun?" My reply, "Well, Tatiana, I thought you'd want to play with your brothers. What did you want- a princess?" Her reply, "Yeah..." Awe... struck out.

Each child got a box of clothes with a hat, few shirts and other miscellaneous. Then, we had a family gift with two books for each child, a connect four, pictureka game, and a few of the "cheap" wii games.

I think I got the best gift- a movie for Ben called "Nacho Libre!" We love that movie. It is HILARIOUS! Need a laugh, take a look!

After gifts, there was clean up and "Happy Birthday" cake! The kids also shared what they were grateful for. We are so blessed by the one who was the greatest gift giver of all, Jesus! We are thankful for the promises of eternal life because of Him...
