Christmas

Christmas has come and gone another year! We all had a wonderful Christmas with presents, good food, and family. Marisa and Alex must have been very good this year because Santa left them lots of new toys. Marisa got her Easy Bake Oven that she has been dying to get and Alex received "fancy" cars and Lightning McQueen just as he had requested. Alex really loves opening presents now, he tears into the wrapping paper. I am pretty certain that just a year ago he still needed help from Marisa to get all of the paper off...not anymore. Not only that but he loves opening any present, even the ones that are not for him =0)

My mom and brother spent the morning with us opening up presents and eating breakfast. Carlos and I got my mom a pearl necklace. I became aware that she has never had a pearl necklace when we were deciding on jewelry for the wedding, so it made a great gift this year.

I forgot to mention that my brother's dog, Tucker, spent the day with us as well.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and are getting ready for the New Year! What is your New Year's Resolution for 2009??
