Literally. Christmas is chaotic for us because we have so many different places to be. Before heading out to Iowa we exchanged gifts with Ansley and Karson. Mya got a Tangled doll with a matching dress for her. Oh My Goodness was she excited!! Tangled even made the trip to Iowa with us-glad she made it back :-)
Our silly girls in the bathtub. Daddy fixes their hair just beautifully don't you think?
We left Santa a note asking him to please leave our gifts as we would return soon. We were just visiting our family! So his elf's set it all up and took a few pictures before we left for Iowa :-)
Santa brought Mya a HUGE doll house. She is in L-O-V-E!
Santa brought Kaiden a basketball goal, Macy a trampoline with a much needed net, and Mya's doll house which she has to share!
In two shakes we were in Iowa (We only wish it were that quick!). The girls always have such a great time there. Pictures during our (1) Christmas in Iowa:
After Christmas Eve Mass the Cuevas family had a party. Santa, Rudolph and two Elves even came!
Macy did sit on Tio Adi...I mean Santa's lap this time
Omar-Elf #1, Adi-Santa, Beto-Elf #2, Israel-Rudolph
Macy loves her Abuelita
Alfredo had been sick with the stomach flu since we got there. Somehow he looks like he feels good in this picture but trust me, it had not been a pretty site. I'm glad he is feeling better now and we have not gotten it yet. I hope he didn't leave anyone sick in Iowa either! He was sure upset to miss out on all the good food.
Alana is absolutely a Toto girl!
We had a good time in Iowa and enjoyed seeing a lot of Alfredo's extended family. Our kids are spoiled not only with gifts, but with so much love!
We left very early-like 4 a.m.-on Monday morning to get home and see what Santa brought! Macy and her sweet blankie :-)
Mya is grumpy in the morning's like mama is!
Kaiden-typical preteen who can sleep anywhere, anytime.
Racing in to see if they had been good or not!
Then begins (2) Our Family Christmas. We headed downstairs because it was going to be a disaster!
It was so nice out that we spend some time outside which it was nice to get some fresh air!
Macy likes to drive the Jeep. She thinks she is a rock climber-ha!
Love this above pictures of my girls. Don't know what it is, but simply their bare feet sticking out and they are playing nicely together.
Then the next evening we had (3) Christmas with my mom. She spoiled the kids with really nice gifts and made awesome stew! It was so yummy I took some for lunch the next day. To my disappointment, Kaiden ate his AND mine!
Grams and Grandpa even made the trip up. So nice to see them!
Boomer
The girls playing with Baby Alive Aunt Whit and Uncle Brad got for Mya. They totally love being Mommy to her. And, we have went through a ton of diapers because that girl has to potty A LOT!
The next evening we went over to Brad and Whits for (4)Christmas with my dad
Dad and Tina really spoiled everyone too. Mya and Macy really had a lot of fun with Zane and Kaylee and playing with all of their new toys!
Dad (I think) had gotten Mya another dress up outfit, and this one had clip on earrings and things that Mya raved over!. So she did a little modeling for us :-)
Thanks everyone for the wonderful over-indulgence of gifts and love this year. We are truly blessed and are very appreciative for all that you do for us. I hope everyone had a great holiday spent with family!
