We had such a wonderful few days. We spent Christmas Eve with the kids, going to mass, having a tamale dinner, reading Christmas stories, and singing carols. This is the only night of the year that the kids get ready for bed FAST. After prepping for Santa, it was lights out by 10:30.
Christmas morning was of course loud and festive. Emma woke us up by sounding the toy trumpet that she got from preschool. Following a yummy breakfast prepared by Dad, we all rallied to get the house ready for all the family that was coming over for our 3rd annual Christmas Pizza Party. This year we added a tamale pizza and a chorizo and beans pizza. YUMMY!
I think the theme of this week has been "Eat, Clean up, Eat, Clean up..." My sister, Thelma and family stayed with us for a few days and of course it was a blast. We ate, and laughed and shopped and talked. We are always so sad when they leave. The kids instantly start planning their next trip to see her.
On Sunday, we headed back to one of our favorite places, LA! The big kids received tickets to see Wicked from Mike and I for Christmas. Unfortunately, Emma is not ready for a Broadway show, so she spent the day with Grandma and Chuck E. Cheese. She was way more excited about that then seeing the mean, green witch.
Christmas Eve @ home with the Fam.
Yummy, Pink's Hot Dogs before the show.

In front of the beautiful Pantages theater.
Mike and I have seen the show multiple times and every time we are amazed by how talented the performers are. I am usually moved to tears.

FUN! See you at the Rose Bowl!!!
You are a trooper heading off to the Rose Bowl. You can't possibly feel good. Though I don't know, that extra 5 pounds you have gained probably doesn't take too much of a toll on you:)
