Christmas

This Christmas was especially wonderful, knowing that next year at this time, we will have 4 stockings to fill : )  Rafa and I were on a serious budget this month, so we kept things real simple except for buying things for baby girl of course.  Christmas Eve, Rafa was my hero.  He painted the baby's room perfectly pink all in one day, even though sleeping in would have been preferred.  In the evening we went to Marisa and Derricks house to celebrate with apps and drinks.  We enjoyed the evening with their little family (Kayla and Brianna), Marisa's mom, dad, and brother and with Janelle, Pedro, and little Ava.  It was nice to spend time with friends, who really are our pseudo family!  Christmas morning, I was up early, and surprisingly, so was Rafa.  We opened gifts by the fire with Bella, who we realize is becoming more and more spoiled by the minute.  Later in the day, we cleaned up the painting mess, worked on fixing the squeaky floors in the baby room, and set the furniture all out. And for dinner, we had the traditional fixings.  By 5pm, all of us could have slept till morning : )

It was a wonderful little Christmas : )
