4 days til Christmas...

Welcome our newest niece, Isabella Grace Juarez. The first female Juarez since my birth 26 years ago! Congratulations Johnny, she is beautiful. Looks so much like her daddy.

December 14th:

Samantha sent the kids a package, she is SO sweet...always thinking of others, thanks Sam!

Kyler got TONS of books!

Lexi got a Cinderella dress and necklaces.

After putting on her new items, Lexi decided to have a 'party'. She dressed up and dressed me up, turned out her Hannah CD and we danced around her room. So much fun!

December 19th:

Playing football in our front yard...

Kyler and Lexi putting on their 'mean faces'. We always have fun playing together.

Getting ready to go...

This morning, the kids designed and built their own "gingerbread houses". They had such a good time being creative.

Kyler kept his traditional...

Lexi created a Hawaiian scene, complete with snow tipped mountain peaks and surfers...

(notice the frosting all over her face)

Christmas is definitely upon us...we are all done with our shopping (besides a few last minute stocking stuffers). The kids tooth their piggy bank savings, that they've accumulated over 4 whole months, and purchased me an additional Christmas gift. I am so touched that they would spend their money on me. They are little angels!

The kids had a dentist appointment last week. They have continued their cavity-free streak, having never had a single one their whole lives. The dentist said their teeth look great. Lexi has 1 of her 6 year old molars poking through and the other on it's way. Her 2 front teeth are getting looser by the day. Kyler has an overbite that will need orthodontic care to treat, I had the same thing as a kid. I wore a retainer for a year to correct it. I guess he has his mama's mouth.

We are enjoying the magic that Christmas brings. Hope you are as well...

Merry Christmas!
