Christmas Pictures

As you can also see, Jordan is reading clues for a scavenger hunt we put him on to find his skateboard (I was too lazy to figure out how to wrap that without him guessing it).


Apparently I gave Joanna the wrong present because she was obsessed with Jordan's skateboard.


The 3 big girls got American Girl dolls with accessories. At a garage sale I found 2 American girl dolls (new about $100 each) and a huge rubbermaid tub and another box - both were full of accessories, clothes and furniture. All together it only cost $30! Then my aunt sent Jackie a used AG doll she had - so each of the big girls could get a doll.




Grandma and Grandpa getting all the love.

Joanna trying to wrap herself up in the box.

All 8 grandkids in one spot - that was a miracle!







All the little ones just love Jordan because he is so funny and sweet with them. He will make such a great big brother to our new boys.

Sorry these are late. We had a great Christmas and it was Elizabeth's first Christmas home with our family - so that was special. Look at all those grandkids - My parents now have 8 grandkids 8 years old and younger. Next Christmas they should have at least 10 grandkids 9 years old and younger and they only had us 2 girls. I wonder if they ever imagined their house would be filled with so many little ones. In case you didn't know, the blonde little bitty ones and the sweet one from China are my sister's kids. The first pictures were taken at our house on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve we celebrate Dominican style at home and cook Dominican food and each child got 1 special present. On Christmas day we go to my parents' house for a big yummy breakfast (omelets, sausage, sweet homemade pecan rolls, fruit, wassel, juice, coffee - oh my mouth is watering just thinking about it!) That is Javier's favorite part of Christmas. Then my sister and her family arrive and we spend the day as a big family. The kids have really become best friends with their cousins. It is such a blessing to see how they love eachother so much.
