Happy Holidays....

from my family to yours!

Here is how we spent our Christmas vacation with my family in Portales...


first night, CJ helped Mimi bake

Then, we headed to my Grandparent's house on Christmas Eve to open gifts with them.

Santa's setup... a cookie, milk, apples for the reindeer and some candy



I guess it was a great snack


Christmas morning! Happy birthday Jesus!
I love CJ's expression when he saw what Santa left for him under the Christmas tree...priceless






Christmas Day and my boys looked so handsome!

My brother and I are so proud to be able to call you OUR Mom, My husband is thankful and could never ask for a better mother-in-law, My kids are so blessed to have you as their Mimi, My Dad is the luckiest man I know...he gets to wake up to you every day and he is able to call you his wife.

We love our "Mom", "Babe", "Mimi", "Suegra" and we all wish you a lovely Birthday.

In the famous words of your Little Mr., "We love you bigger than the world Mimi!"
