Christmas

Christmas lunch was at my parents house. It was nice having Uncle Gabe home for Christmas. Austin and Xavier slept a couple of hours, because they were tired. So little Kayla got all of the attention and she loved it.

Ha ha!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was quite a sight outside. Snow was still on the ground. Austin was the first one up and out of bed. The kids loved all the toys they got from Santa.

Xavier's 1st Birthday

My nephew Xavier turned one on December 22nd. We had a small party at my parents house. It was so fun to watch him eat his cake.

Kayla waiting patiently for cake.

Dig in! I have never seen a kid do this! I have always seen little ones use their hands to get the cake. It was so funny!

Yum, cake!

Time to open gifts.

Family

My Uncle Rudy from Michigan came in town, so we had a family get together on December 20th. It was a great time! The kids had so much fun playing and running around outside.

Getting ready for Black Board Friday. They play musical chairs to a song while holding a little black board. Then they have to write whatever letter Ms. Jane writes. It was fun to watch!

Christmas Program

Austin had his Christmas Program on Weds. December 16th. His class sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Medley: Jolly Old St. Nicholas, and Deck the Halls. They also sang Jingle Bells and Feliz Navidad with the other classes. He did great!

Martinez Family Christmas

We had our big family Christmas on Saturday December 12th and that was a super busy day for Travis and I. It began with me working, then we went to my family Christmas, Travis had his company Christmas party and lastly the Davis family tamale making party. The family Christmas was great. I got to see family and the kids all got to run around with each other. The kids got to color, did a craft, played bingo to win prizes and got a couple of gifts.
