A Utah Christmas!

It was so much fun to be back in the USA for Christmas for so many reasons... (in no particular order-after Target of course) Target, English, a White Christmas, cousins, Grandma, aunts, uncles, friends, games, lucha libre masks, Cafe Rio, caramel apples, gingerbread men, The CCC Party, Christmas music, new baby Nolan, and lots of snuggles for Baby J...




And we are off to Utah!

ChRiStMaS MoRnInG!!!


Danny and I brought all the guys Lucha Libre masks from Mexico. They went out that night and did wild boy stuff Nacho Libre style! Blackmail?



The trip went by too fast... I was not ready to leave...tears were shed (by me). I guess being crammed in a house with 8 adults and 8 kids was just what I needed since living in Mexico can sometimes be lonely. I am thankful we got to be there with so much family to celebrate Christmas.



James says MeRrY ChRiStMaS to all!!!

happy!


James is up to 11.5 lbs! Of course he downed a 6oz. bottle right before we entered the Doctor's office BUT regardless he gained weight... that makes me one happy mommy!



Speaking of happy...
little J is one happy baby these days...





Amazing what a little food in the tummy can do for you!

James in the big boy bed...Don't worry we did not let him sleep there there by himself.
