Christmas 2013

A great Christmas and even funnier time with family. The Christmas break could not be long enough. We all enjoyed the relaxing time and not having to wake up early.
 
Family night and reading The saviors birth story.
Tyler punching Michaela's bum. He was funny but enjoyed sitting and being 2.
Carson reading his part in the saviors birth.
Joss taking a picture while I was taking a picture. Funny she is already at this stage. growing too fast.
Joss writing her letter to Jesus for his birthday gift.
Christmas morning. It was quite a Christmas for our kidos. Notice the great gifts they received. They made a haul and still had more at grandmas.
All three ready to get started at opening the gifts from Santa and mom and dad.
Carson help open one of Juan's gifts but had to open the safe to get one of his gifts.
Yes and I caught the smile of his excitement. YES!!!
Check out his new weapon for hunting.
Carson and his gifts. Most gifts were hunting but he was able to get some clothes and other great stuff. Michaela did not organize her gifts but she received a laptop, clothes, shoes, and a few other great gifts.
At grandmas to get ready to open more gifts with Jody, Tate, Joss, and Tyler. Tyler and Joss made a haul. Santa was nice to us all.
Michaela with some of her gifts.
Tyler wanted to try on Carlos boots but had troubles walking in them.
Here Tyler is playing with one of his trucks with Carlos' boots on still.
Grandma bought these Santa hats so we thought we would take a picture with them on for her. We got some great pictures and had fun being silly. Enjoy the next few photos. We did.



See how much fun 2 to 17 year old kids have at Christmas. Who cares how old you are we all enjoy laughing and fun!
I love this of the three. They all have great smiles and actually enjoy each other after all those late nights.
These kids are great and had so much fun together. You would never know that they were all so far apart. Michaela (17), Carson (14), Carlos (11), Joss (4), and Tyler (2) but they all acted 4 and 2.

Carlos Christmas Program

Carlos Last Christmas Program at Ellis.
Carlos did so well at singing. He is animated and loves to do well for his teachers. This year was the first year that no Elementary schools had an official music teacher. The district cut that out so the teachers gladly stepped up an took over. It was the best I have heard the kids sing in a long time. They did very well and had lots of vocal talent.
Carlos loved singing "Jingle Bell Rock" especially when they got to wear sunglasses. He is growing up and becoming quite independent. He is a great help and loves Christmas.
 
Soon to come a video of the kids singing. It's Great!
