Christmas Day 2015 and Visiting Dad

Christmas morning, we woke up early and put the presents we had for the boys under the tree. We mainly had a bunch of books for them but they did get a couple neat little toys.


It's kind of scary and cool how Levi knows how to open a present! Like who taught him that?! Crazy kid! David also assembled their kitchen that morning. After all of that, we went on a mini road trip to my dad's house.

That drive is always so beautiful! And with those big poofy clouds in the sky, it made it that much prettier!

Noah exploring Grandpa's backyard
I was in shock when we pulled up to my dad's  house... I wasn't expecting to see anything Christmas related because I know that my dad hasn't done the traditional tree, or lights or ANYTHING Christmas the past few years. But when we pulled up I was shocked to see that he had put up lights along the roof of the hosue, He decorated the little tree outside and inside on the window, he set up a cute little village! It was so fun and exciting! Thanks dad! It def made my day!




Another amazing treat they had for us, was cooking a turkey for dinner! Oh my gosh it was so yummy! My stepmom and dad are amazing chef's, hopefully someday I will be as good of a cook! ;)



Levi enjoying time with Grandpa
After eating, we all sat in the living room, talked exchanged a gifts and than watched the movie San Andreas. My Dad had surprised me earlier that week with a big gift in the mail, a sewing machine! I love my Singer! I've already put it to good use with a couple of projects!

My brother's dog Milo. 

We were trying to get Milo to like us ha, I think it worked ;)


Jamie is such a cutie! My sister went all out for us! She spoiled us with gifts for our kids and even for us! Thank you Jamie! You're such a great aunt!

 The next morning, we got up early, the boys had a hard time sleeping, and Milo was all ready to go! He was waiting for us to play with him! So I took some pics of him lol
He loved it.... hahaha



Mr. Smiles!




After hanging around that morning, we finally got ready, out of our jammies ( it was 27 degrees! burr) and headed to downtown SLO.  Jamie and I had to take a picture of us together, we asked David, and apparently he took 4 selfies all like the one below! hahaha silly



 We noticed smoke from the freeway, somewhere in San Luis, so we chased it and found a building on fire. I guess it was some fabric shop, scary! Hope everyone was okay.


 We walked around downtown, through the mission. I had never been over there!

 After riding a carousel, walking around a toy store (because he didn't get enough toys during Christmas) -sarcasm, we went to eat lunch at Woodstock's pizza. We love it there!
As you can see, little mister, was a grump, and 3 min into eating, he fell asleep while eating!

When he woke up , him and his tia went to the arcade and played. 
When we headed back to my dad's I didn't feel too good. I had a horrible headache and nothing would make it go away. So I fell asleep for a couple of hours with Levi, and felt better. When I woke up we watched the movie Focus, loved it! 

On Sunday, us girls went to a local goodwill to look for a couple of party supplies for Noah's birthday party. I found exactly what I was looking for and all for super cheap! Score!
I still had a bad headache and it would not go away, so we decided to head on home. 
We had such an amazing time ! This Christmas was so fun, I love that we got to see all of our famiy!

Christmas Eve 2015

Our Table packed with Treats!


Where to even begin?! This year's Christmas was so much fun and so busy! We could not have asked for a more fun time! We started our day early Christmas Eve morning, I mean, I was up all night baking boxes of treats for presents!

Selfies with ma baby before we left!


I had to, he looked so cute! My little candy cane!


When I finally made it to bed past midnight, I had to wake up early to bake a cinnamon breakfast french toast I would take over to our first destination: our sister, Amber's house, to celebrate with her, our nephew Mason, her boyfriend Danny, our mom and dad, nannie and papa!

We quickly ate because the kids ( by kids I mean I) were too excited to wait to open gifts, so that's exactly what we did.







So excited for this! We got the New Keurig! 
We got so many gifts! I'm blessed with super sweet mother and father in laws! They got me a keurig, dishes I'd been wanting from The Pioneer Woman collection, a super cute pink instax poloroid camera and more! Noah and Levi also got so many gifts but my favorite is their Kid Kraft Kitchen!He plays with it everyday! Noah will "make" me pancakes, eggs, and more!

After gifts, we all enjoyed one another's company and just talked. It was nice and a lot of fun!

Afterwards we headed home to unload and than drove to David's mom's house.




We got there and as soon as we get to Grandma's house, the one with the chickens, Noah pulls all the toys out of the now designated toy closet! 







 They've taken over, everywhere we go haha . It's okay, they're super cute!

Mom and Ken were cooking up a storm when we got there, they got super fancy and made Beef Wellington for dinner!


I found our Christmas card on their fridge!


The amazing dinner they made! It was so tender and delicious! 
Little Levi got a fun elephant he can push and sit on, Noah some fun learning toys, books and more and David got Bass pro shop gift cards ( which he's going to go to this upcoming weekend) and I got a blanket and socks. We had a blast!


My Mom's big beautiful tree!

We left there after 6 I believe it was and headed to my mom's house! My mom, stepdad and grandma were there along with my mom's foster kids. We had fun catching up, munching on tamales and opened gifts at midnight!

Put my camera to good use!

I Love this Picture of us

My grandma enjoying little Levi










Again, a perfect time spent with family, we had so much fun! Noah got a soccer ball, candy and nick jr. dvds! He was so happy and his heart and ours were full! David got a startbucks gift card and Lucky me got beautiful tall grey Uggs! Levi also got a lot of toys and a JC Penny giftcard! 
My mom did a wonderful thing and had us sit together while she read the story of The Birth of Jesus. Than she asked each and everyone of us to share a favorite Christmas memory we had. It's such a lovely tradition to start!

Christmas Eve 2015 Was so perfect in every way! We are so blessed to have such a great family and live so close to them that we could see everyone! Christmas Day, we got a late start and were off to San Luis Obispo to visit my Dad!
