Late as usual....

So I know it's already the middle of January but I wanted to catch everyone up on our holidays. Christmas was wondeful and the girls were once again spoiled by grandparents, uncles, aunts, friends and of course us! This year my family couldn't make it over for our Christmas Eve dinner celebration so we had two family dinners, one on Christmas Eve and the other Christmas day. Although both meals included yummy deep fried turkey I really missed the usual Christmas Day tamales and menudo meal we do. Usually my mom spends the week before Christmas with us and we make tamales, menudo and biscochos but this year she couldn't make it and so I had to suffer silently on Christmas Day :P
New Year's was lots of fun too. We spent it in Dumont with friends. We even let the kids have a celebration toast (grape juice of course) and light up sparklers before they headed off to bed. Brian and Aubrie were there with their new quads and had lots of fun riding around camp with Brook. The kids even had their first "trail" ride. Dane led the kids out of camp for a short ride that included riding up a dune and "chillin" like the adults do. Deano followed them in his rhino which made me feel a little better. She's growing up too fast!!!!
The holidays are over and now it's back to the normal-ness of everyday. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Happy 2009!
Oh and one more thing...I got a new camera from Santa!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
