Posing with Aunt Monica's deer

They really liked her light up deer, so they took pictures with them after tamale-rama.

One actual picture taken on Christmas

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a fun day. We began by celebrating Jasmine's birthday at Mesa Rosa where she got to wear a cool sombrero. She kindly shared her dessert with her brothers. :) Then we went to church. The picture is of some the kids helping to clean up after church was over. The final two pictures are of the kids opening their Christmas Eve presents.

Zebra

We happened to pass some cool statues as we were driving. We turned around to check them out and found that they were decorations outside of a pediatric dentist office.

Jasmine turns 8 and Alexander turns 5!

Yep, that's three whole pictures of their entire party. :)

Alex's birthday dinner

Just to mention it, he had his birthday dinner at Red Lobster where he ordered grilled shrimp. He said if we wanted to make him happier we could just give him more shrimp. :) When the waitress asked him if it was his birthday, he looked confused and told her, "no." Then the waitress was confused and explained that she was told it was his birthday. He said, "No. My birthday isn't until tomorrow. This is just my birthday dinner." She brought him his cool dessert, anyway.

Hiding

Circus

The kids put together a circus. The first picture is a cast photo. The second picture is a race about to begin.

Our very pathetic parenting Christmas pictures

So, we actually forgot to take any pictures during Christmas. We did, however, take two pictures after we put up our tree. Jasmine is holding her favorite ornament. Alex and Nathan are half naked super heros. Nathan is pretty sure that the only way to wear his Batman cape is without a shirt.
