Hope you Christmas was great. For us this year was so much fun because we enjoyed watching Olivia playing and staring at the Christmas tree. This was a pretty good holiday season and can't wait to create more memories with my family. This year we spent Christmas with my family and that was good. One Mexican tradition is that we open our gifts the night before on Christmas Eve so around 10:00pm that is what we did. This year our Olivia got blessed with many gifts which made me feel good so many people love her that much. The next morning we enjoyed watching her play with every toy she got especially her power wheel quad. Pretty good year but so sad it is all over.

Oh Paris

Today I was asking my sister if she would paint an Eiffel Tower mural in my scrap room to go with my Parisian theme and I came across this a vinyl decal sticker Eiffel Tower. I just fell in love with this. I found this decal on amazon.com for $49.99 plus s&h. I also found this mural of the Eiffel Tower had an open window to make it seemed like the tower was right outside. This is a $5.00 project unless your painter charges and in my case I have a very talented sister who will do it for me as a Christmas present. Oh yeah. By the way she painted Olivia really adorable flowers in her room and it looks good!

Merry Christmas

Here are the pictures we took for our Christmas cards and the cards I made for us this year. I wish I could have put more time into them but after making over 200 in the last month I needed to do whatever was faster. I love them! For this card I used the Medallion stamp set ($17.95) and embossed it with a green powder inside I stamped my holiday message with Season of Simple Grace ($25.95)

Today I had so much fun with my Olive. I dressed her up in her tutu, we sat by the Christmas tree and we dance, sang Christmas songs, watched a Veggie Tales movie, we gave each other some xoxo's.
Oh I just love being a momma!

A pool in our kitchen

This is why you dont leave a 16 month old alone. Because she wil fill your kitchen floor with water right before you have to go.

Oh boy!

I know I am almost a month late but today was the first day in a while that I have nothing much going on besides picking up a little. I have no major projects due, I have no appointments in my schedule, I have not sick child nor husband. I am not baby sitting. I am alone and have nothing to worry about. Sigh!

Thanksgiving was absolutely fun with family with us and delicious food to eat. This was Olivia's first Thanksgiving meal and oh boy she loved it. I have never seen her eat so much in her life. She sat with her Papa(her favorite person in the world) and ate and ate and ate...I finally had to say something and she was so sneaky and went around and ate every ones leftovers yucky. After dinner we played some music and Olivia entertained us with her sweet moves. That was fun! The rest of the night was spent at watching movies until we fell asleep. Fun night so thankful for what God has done in my life. Never did I think he would have me where I am.

God, I am so thankful for your grace in my life for your abundant love. That you have blessed me with a wonderful husband that loves you and his love for you reflects on me. You are the greatest example of LOVE. Thank you Jesus for allowing me to become a mother to a beautiful little girl. I am in awe of your faithfulness an love for me. I love you!

What I have been up to.

Lately I have been so busy with so many things and by no means I am complaining. I love this busy part of my life. I never thought I would enjoy my life so much. I love where God has me at this very moment. I love my Jesus. I love my marriage. I love being a mommy. I love being a Young Life leader. I love my life. So thankful for God's grace in my life.

One of my projects this last few weeks was to make 163 Christmas cards. Boy was it tough. The last few days of it was a little stress full but fun and I could not have done it with out my two beautiful YL girls. Mariah and Beatriz. Those two girlie's are awesome. They came to babysit/help me finish and when Chris and I came home from our date they had almost finished putting and finishing the cards for me. They made me feel very special. THANK YOU GIRLS! I forgot to take a picture of cards but they came out really cute!

One other thing I did was organize the Christmas party for our YL students and that was so much fun. I wanted to make it somewhat formal nicely decorated so they could feel welcomed and loved because you know for some of them I am sure this was the closest thing to a nice and normal dinner. I hope they felt how special they are to us but most important how special they are to Him.
