Almost 1 Month after Christmas...

...the tree got tired of waiting and took itself down.

Miss Pinky before her bath

Mia Christmas - belated pix

Aww, awwww!

Snapshots of little sicky

A few more, because she's so cute

Sunday with mum

I plopped baby in the laundry basket so I could help daddy to search for his passport. No luck! (He was going to Melchor with grandma).

Mia took a bath and I decided to put her pretty dress on before it gets too small for her.

Kellen's 1st Birthday Party

Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of the Birthday Boy or his cake! Tio Eric was playing paparazzi that night. Please send me your pics Tio!

Baby Marielena all bundled up to go outside
(since we live in the Arctic Circle)



Cuco - "Awesoooome!"

Tia Banche and Tio Antonio informing pdaddy that Mia is drooling...



Tio takes care of the problem...Mia liked him. She was giving him some pretty smiles.

All dressed up for party

Look Tia Emogene, I'm wearing the dress you gave me!

Saturday Morning

Look at those long eye lashes!



Grr! Get camera out of my face muuuum!

...happy again

Lookie, I can blow bubbles now!

Somebody's learned to hold her keys!

Mmm tastes niiice!

See how I can hold my keys all by myself...

Oooh interesting!

Christmas tidbits

This is our first appliance together (awww), a nice big fridge that doesn't frost over and drip like my old one. The oldie didn't do too bad though, I had it for 8 years! Note the snowman in the center that Tia G gave me for Christmas, made of a painted nacho cheese tin. Mam gave me the other snowmen ornaments. Also note the Jelly Belly jar in the background - neener neener!!!!!

What should one do with the ham bone? Make black beans of course!!!! (Cooked for hours in the slow cooker that mam bought me with casino winnings).

What should one do with leftover turkey? Boil and make a broth for turkey and dumplings! When the veggies are cooked through I'll add some nice fluffy dumplings to thicken it up mmm!!! The kitchen smells great.

Here's the other side of the fridge. Note the snowman pot holders (from mam) and the magnetic snowman notepad (from Jaime's mam).

Happy New Year!
