Christmas 2012 Wrap Up

 So, a month later, here is a massive amount of Christmasy photos from all of our celebrations.  
We love Christ & we love Christmas!  
(* Some events are out of order...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the second year in a row, we were able to see Santa 'arrive' in town via firetruck! 

Totally a 'you'll shoot your eye out, kid!' moment from Santa, after 2 year old K asks for a bike:





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We attended G's school Christmas party.  She loved having her family in her classroom! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I participated in one Art/Craft show this season.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

We participated in an event that showed love and gave hope to local needy families.  G & K helped shop for childrens' gifts to donate, and Cuban Daddy & I got to volunteer at the awesome event. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmasy at School: 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 3/4 of us battled sickness.  G- pneumonia & the flu...at the same time; K- double ear infection; CD- bronchitis & sinus infection; Me- spared by the grace of God...someone had to care for these people!  ;)
(this is waiting for the doctor.  precious........)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A local church had a 'live nativity', which we attended for the first time.  Pretty cool! 



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoying hot chocolate w/ tons of marshmallows, while Mommy decorates the house.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Decided to make myself a little festive.  Purple hair & fun nails. 


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G & K wanted to help decorate! 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My friend & I both do Operation Christmas Child boxes, so this year we joined forces.  We shopped w/ our kids & then hung out, had dinner, watched the Veggie Tales video featuring OCC, and packed/wrapped boxes.  It was really challenging fun!  ;)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We picked out our Christmas tree (I can't find those pics!) & brought home to decorate.  We gave the kids lots of 'decorative freedom' this year...and they loved it!

He backed into the bin of decorations...hilarious! 




Favorite: 


LOVE this one!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our 'angel' had a Christmas performance at school one night (a night that included gymnastics classes for G & K, outfit change,this performance, outfit change, and then my Dad's Christmas party- see below-, outfit change...) Lord, help me!! 


Front right, black sleeves.  She LOVED that we were there to hear her sing! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My dad has a big annual Christmas party/dinner for his clients.  Lucky us, we get to come by association.  

Breaking it down with their uncles:

Beautiful people in this photo! (My mom, K, my SIL) 

Love!  My Grandma, K, & Popi (my Dad) 

Dancing with (Cuban) Daddy 



I couldn't pick a favorite! Ha!  
G & K were on the dance floor nearly the whole time.  Totally serious.  Totally dancing.  Totally think they're grown.  Confidence is what I like to see! 
He. is. a. mess.



They were twirling, twisting, ducking, and shaking it!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Christmas celebration w/ Popi's side of the family:

G & K w/ my oldest brother's 3 girls 

Love this guy!! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Merry Christmas!
Christmas Morning, the kids were SO excited to see what Santa brought.  K wanted a motorcycle, G wanted Bitty Twins.  Santa delivered!  Unfortunately, G had a fever, so we had to skip meeting w/ my family.  My parents sucked it up & risked it...and had us over for dinner that night. ;)

Let's see what the jolly red guy brought!

He could not be happier!  Best gift ever!   


She is in love with the twins she got!  She named them "Eva" & "Eric".


Santa brought some soccer gear for K too.



Mommy tried a special Pinteresty breakfast.  It was a hit!   

I absolutely love the little hand reaching in to steal a bite- ha! 








------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas evening with Noni & Popi:





The 2 year old was so excited to get a skateboard...and was quite good on it! 


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Merry Christmas 2012!!!


God bless, 

~ 6 in Love ~

UPDATE:  I knew I was leaving out a "Christmas Event," but didn't have my mobile pics uploaded yet.  So here they are, Christmas celebration with my mom's side of the family.  
Poor little G had to stay home w/ Daddy b/c she was feverish.  Blah.
