Christmas Time

Decorating the Christmas Tree.



This is our first ever Gingerbread House.........I will Never use graham crackers again for this!! What a disaster. It was really fun though and the boys loved it...of course.





After Santa came we wanted to take some pictures . We thought it would be fun to paint (with a flashlight) the year in the picture.



Christmas breakfast.....we try these molds every year and this is the first year that they have turned out.

 These are the worst pictures of the boys, but whatever. Lorenzo got a steering sled from Santa and a windup truck from us....oh and from Santa he got his favorite thing....a hotwheel car that changes color when it gets hot or cold. Solo got a robot puppy and a little truck from Santa and two motorized cars from us. They really had a good time. Probably the best part of the day was when we went to the park and Chris pulled the boys on the sled....who needs dogs??

 Christmas dinner.....SOOOOO gooood. It was really perfect this year, everything was delicious...if I do say so myself.


After Christmas Andrea and Tyler came with their family. They were on their way to visit Marc and Laurie in Pennsylvania. They decided to trade us their dog (Mosa) for Enzo. Solo missed his Brother, but he LOVED having a puppy. Enzo had a really good time with his cousins. It was hard for me to have him gone for the three days....i missed him super bad!

Thanksgiving Diner

Eva was good enough to make us a delicious Spanish meal for Thanksgiving. I helped prepare all the vegetables for the Paella and then Dale and Mickey helped her in the cooking. We also had some awesome shrimp and bread. Thank you Eva for such a wonderful meal. 





These are just some random pictures of everyone waiting for dinner.

Thanksgiving break

During the Thanksgiving break we were lucky enough to go visit Chris's family in California. Mickey, Dale and Marty all live close to San Francisco with their families. It was really fun to play with them for a while....I would like to say that the weather was amazing, but that would be a lie. It didn't matter though, we still had a great time. Thank you Trockel Families for letting us take over  your lives for a little while. 







The kids in Amaya's super suits...the picture does not do justice to how cute they were.



Enzo LOVED surfing with his Dad and Uncle Dale.









Enzo and Solo loved being pulled on the boogie board.
