Pictures

Joseph telling a story to the Christmas tree

These are my favorite pictures from the holiday's! We enjoyed spending time with our families and being able to have our First Christmas in our house. I know it sounds weird but these last few years we have spent Christmas with our parents at their houses; well this year we were able to have our families come to our house! We made a turkey, ham, buttered potatoes (Mark doesn't care for mashed), broccoli and rice casserole, sausage, green bean casserole and lots of cookies and pies!

For New Years we went to see my parents in Laredo. Mom, Yemile and I tried our hand at making tamales and were successful in making 10 dozens!!! They are/were AWESOME; we have eaten a lot of them!!!! Mark and I were even able to have a date night. We didn't stay out too long 'cause we missed our little one, but we did enjoy some time for just us.

"Merry Christmas!" from Santa Joseph

Mark and I decided that we need to add to the Christmas traditions we grew up with and didn't know what to do. So after some thinking we agreed to:

(1) Go to Church

(2) come home and make cookies for Santa

(3) Read "Twas the night before Christmas"

This is our new Tradition

(4) Everyone that stays at our house for Christmas on Christmas Eve gets new PJ's!!!!

So here are some picture of us in our Christmas PJ's, well you can see Joseph's but not ours. Mark has on a grey shirt and dark plaid pj's and I have on a purple shirt with purple and yellow plaid pj's.
