It was the hottest Christmas for me (Brasil circa 1997 was a close second) and for all of us. Danny, being from Galveston, TX, did not mind a warm holiday but I longed for some cold temps. Really, I only want cold weather until New Years Eve after that I just want spring and summer.
Despite the hot weather it was still a festive and memorable Christmas for our little family. It was in fact the first ever Christmas for our little family to not be around other family.
So late, but...

James sporting the Christmas gift Grandma and Papa sent him. He loves it. Every time he finishes his bath I have a rana (frog in Spanish) hopping around my house.
Christmas Eve we had some friends from Church come over for dinner and to share the Nativity story with.
The Star!
My friends, Kerri and Spencer, have a 7 month old daughter. I was in heaven thinking about how I would have a 7 month old daughter next Christmas! Little Ali is the sweetest, and sure made for a cute and active newborn baby Jesus. ;-)
The Angel!
The Donkey!
Christmas morning!
My cute husband/dish washer. Love the bows!
