It That Time Again

It is time for Christmas cards again. Last year Sam's parents got us cards to send out. I enjoyed them so much that I decided to get photo christmas cards this year. It wasn't an easy task because our photo faces wouldn't cooperate or our busy little girl wouldn't cooperate but here are the pictures we took yesterday. Sam set the timer on the camera Then we pick out cards from Walmart!

For Family nite we decided to get all the Christmas stuff out and decorate just a little because Kaylee gets into everything. We put on christmas music and went for it.

First we pulled out the christmas tree. It is a fake but it is handy. Last year Sam's mom gave us all his ornaments that he had while growing up. Also the day after christmas Sam bought lights, ornaments and other christmas stuff. that was way cheap I haven't seen any of this stuff so I got a little excited.

Here is the christmas tree partially decorated and with its lights on.

The main event was making a gingerbread house. Kaylee help us by eating the candy within her reach. I decorated the roof.

We had fun and I can't wait for the holidays to keep coming. I really don't like making gingerbread houses because mine always fell and looked horrible. But Sam kepted on giving positive motivation saying good job and your a pro and stuff like that. He is such a great guy!

Thanksgiving week

Last week we spent time with our families. On Friday the 21st we went over to my parent's home. On Saturday my cousins came down to spend the week with my family. They are the daughters of my mom's sister from Casa Grande, AZ.

This is my cousin Argentina

This is my cous Mar de Plata or just Marde
During their week. They went to a YSA activity where it was a game show. We also took them to the Galleria in Roseville. Then my brothers took them out to dinner and to watch Twilight. Then on Wednesday they went to Pier 39 and for Thanksgivings they went off to Fernley , NV and did all sorts of Fun stuff with my brother and the rest of the family up there in Reno.

We left my families house on Tuesday and went up to Auburn to spend thanksgiving with Sam's family. His grandma and aunt and uncle came down for Thanks giving. On Wednesday Sam sister and brother in law and nephew came down. We had a good vacation with family and a good thanksgiving.

This is Kaylee's cousin Zachary He really liked playing with Kaylee's doll only if Sam made it talked.
This is Kaylee's great grandma. She gave Kaylee some earrings from Sam's great grandma.

Kaylee wasn't feeling to well so she slept on Grandpa Lupe she was so cozy.

On Thursday night a little after Thanksgiving dinner we went back to my parents house. On Black Friday we saw Twilight I thought it was very entertaining. There were a couple of funny parts in it. Liked how Jasper looked constipated all the time. Sam just thought that the music was too melancholy and that it didn't fit the mood of the book our the emotions but it is very enjoyable to watch. The next movie I waiting for is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I have a countdown posted it comes out in July. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
