Chicharrón

We went to the Mexican store this morning and came home with lots of goodies, including chicharrón. The girls love it! Ha, they can't deny their heritage.

Old Smokey

Cameron got a new smoker grill from his parents for Christmas. He's already smoked chicken and pork. Delicious!

Christmas Eve

Yesterday was the first time that the girls had Christmas Eve with their cousins. The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful and our time together as a family was perfect.

Getting Ready for Christmas

Emma's Christmas Party

Yesterday Emma's preschool had their Christmas party. It was really cute seeing the kids sing Christmas carols. Ana and I stayed to help during the party. Ana had so much fun playing with all the dolls and eating the party snacks (which included lots of M&Ms).

Cuddle

Emma still likes to cuddle with Cameron.

Pajamas & "Puppet" Show

The girls decided to put on their pajamas right before nap and perform a finger puppet show. They were quite silly!

Making Sugar Cookies

The girls had so much fun making sugar cookies for Emma's preschool's Christmas party. Of course the cookies they got to eat at home were completely covered with icing and sprinkles.

Historical Society

Our local historical society had an open house this afternoon. It was fun to go as a family and learn a little history. The girls got to make Christmas ornaments and bracelets and we got to tour the house and have hot apple cider straight from the  fire.

First Nutcracker Ballet

Yesterday Cameron took Emma to see the Nutcracker for the first time. Emma knew the story and was very familiar with the performance. She absolutely loved it!

Good Tickle

The girls love getting tickled by Cameron.

Ana - Cockroach

One of Ana's current favorite toys is this plastic cockroach. Go figure!

Ana

Gala Night

Ana - Selfie & Carrots

Right before her nap Ana requested carrots for a snack. She had just had lunch a little over an hour ago therefore I knew she wasn't hungry. I promised the carrots after her nap. Two hours later, she woke up and was demanding her carrots. Of course I made her ask politely and then gave her the carrots. At least it was a healthy snack!

**If you notice that she is wearing the same outfit in the past several posts, is because she wants to wear her "Elsa" dress everywhere day.

Christmas Decorations

Yesterday the girls helped me set up our Christmas decorations. Emma was really into it and Ana had more fun playing with the boxes. The only thing left is put up our Christmas lights on our Magnolia tree outside.
