Christmas 2011

Val with Santa. This was the only picture because shortly after this was taken, Val decided he was too hot so I had to strip him down and let him go to sleep. Anyway, this is his first Santa picture.

Isa with Santa. This is the first non-photoshopped pic we have. Every year Miguel has had to fix red eye, deal with tears, or his wife bossing him around saying "take 10 pounds off of me in this Santa picture!" She did great this year. Such a big girl!

Isa and Val on the morning of their Christmas party at school. Looking lovely the both of them.

I love these shirts. I made them and am super proud! They both look so cute!

This is because of pinterest. This Christmas there were so many great ideas and how to make them it almost ruined my life but in a great way. I made the bows out of burlap and did all my wrapping in brown paper shopping bags. Not a half bad way to wrap presents on the cheap.

THE present this year. We made this kitchen out of an entertainment center and put it in a new play room in the basement. Great Christmas present!

Merry Christmas from the posse!

All pics, no captions.

Ok, so I finally got some pics to load (fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle). These are of Isa's Christmas play and her birthday...at least I'm pretty sure, there's just code on the screen but the preview looks good. Merry Christmas to all, and let's try to scale back next year to get some sleep!

Happy and Merry

I would be a lot happier and merrier if the pics I selected would load onto the blog. Ok, I'll get the tech team (Miguel) to take a look and in the mean time here's what's going on.
1) Thanksgiving, we're thankful and the only picture we have is of me and the kids sitting at Mary's kitchen table, not that great but it's my facebook profile pic if you want to see it.

2) The house with lights on it. Yes we finally hit the jackpot, big lights. I love big lights and they're awesome and then we got the picture and blew a fuze out of the first strand and they haven't worked since and now we look like grinches in our hood because everyone else has their houses lit up like the Vegas strip and we're all dark up in this hizzy. We got the picture though and that's what counts.

3) Isa's Christmas spectacular at her school. Yes Christmas fans, Isa played an angel and wore a costume and sang in her school play this year, a first on all 3 counts and the pics are adorable. She was so happy and cute I could almost explode with pride on how well she did. These are the pics I tried to load with no such luck!

4) Isa's birthday party. It's that time of year again, birthday time. We had all the usuals over to the Posse pad yesterday to celebrate Isa's birthday and it was a butterfly themed blast. All the kids were cute and good and took great pictures.

That's it. I'm sincerely hoping there are pics to come otherwise I'm going to have to close down the blog, because there's no way you're here for the witty captions.
