Day 6 Week in My life

On with the show, right?! 

Get it together Julyssa!

haha.

 

Christmas morning, rise and shine.

Thankfully, the kids gave us a slight break and woke up at 7:30am.

On Christmas Eve, Nyomi wrote Santa a note.  She really wanted to hug the Elf and since the Elf can't be touched (for fear of losing it's magical  powers) ... Nyomi thought it wise to ask the big boss for permission.

adorable

Santa signed his name and circled YES!

They found reindeer noses in their stockings and it took me a while to get a picture of both noses lit up at the same time.

He asked for 2 things this Christmas; A Captain America Shield and a Thor Hammer.

Nyomi asked for 2 things this Christmas;  A razor graffiti scooter (she got a light up wheel scooter) and a BBQ play set (she got a tree house because I didn't know what she was talking about, she was pleased).

After going through stockings and playing with Santa's gifts we had a delicious breakfast that Adam made.

Nadya received 2 things from us this Christmas ... this car from Santa and a dog from us.  She LOVED both of them.

She didn't understand the unwrapping of presents and began to throw a tantrum ...

... until she saw what was under the wrapping and her face lit up like a star.

This year I loved taking photos of the kids reaction.

Nyomi's first DOLL and it looks just like her.

This is the face Dylan made when he saw that I had given him JEANS for Christmas.  so NOT fair.

Abuelita gave Dylan a helicopter for Christmas and it was such an awesome gift.

Until

daddy couldn't figure out how he made it work in the first place.

so

the kids waited and waited for their turn to finally fly the copter, but their turn didn't come until a day later.

The scooter quickly became and indoor scooter for the time being and the kids enjoyed themselves, but also fought like crazy because Dylan wanted to ride too.

Adam and the kids got to talk to Uncle Casey (adam's bro).  We got to see their little baby who was just born in December.  

After visiting with Uncle Casey and baby N., we went over to partake of a lovely evening with some friends.  We had some yummy food and then we went outside to enjoy the very cool evening.  Nyomi's friend got a gymnastics bar and they enjoyed themselves.

The kids had themselves their first SLEEPOVER that night.

They had an absolute blast!
