Christmas pics!

What a fun Christmas we had! Having a toddler around makes Christmas so much more special. We had friends over for Tamales on Christmas eve (a Guatemalan tradition). Kevin's Sister Christine came over from England to spend Christmas with us until New Year's eve. Gabi first opened a stocking in bed with us, then we spent the day opening tons of gifts and then had a late traditional English dinner with turkey and all the trimmings....with Christmas crackers, followed by Christmas pudding with Brandy sauce, and then hit the couch until we could move again.

Gabi left cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer, she did take a quick bite before leaving them for Santa.
Gabi snuggling up by the fire with Daddy.
With Daddy and Auntie Christine......It's Auntie Christine's first time to America, and her first time on a plane in over 30 years so we are very happy she's here!
Wow someone must have been a good girl!!!!


What a pretty bag.....and what's this paper Mama??? Opening presents from Santa :)
We got Gabi this Dora the explorer car and she absolutely loved it, she pretty much spent the rest of the day getting in and out, walking around it, putting toys in the back and asking for 'more please' to be pushed in it.


I asked Gabi to smile and show me her teeth!
A few cute pics from last couple of days.

Oh, I love, love, love your photos and writings. It is so amazing, this gift we have been given. You put my exact thoughts into words when you wrote about the wonder and joy of it all.
Every day we look at our photo of Gabi and Solei in Antigua and Solei points to Gabi and shouts "ishhhhh!!!" (her universal word for everything beloved---food, winnie the pooh, friends....)
We miss you and send you all our love, Jackie
