We had a low key, laid back, lay around, very little stress sort of Christmas. Ivan and I have been wanting to have an “our little family” Christmas where it is just us and our girls. And this year seemed like the year for it since I have recently given birth to a little one, named Scarlet Charlene.

Here is Scarlet Charlene who has recently acquired the amazing ability to charm with her crooked smile. Here she is charming her Abuelita (grandma in Spanish).

The funny part about this picture is that AA has no idea who Santa is…we were on a playdate after Christmas at a coworker’s home and my friend asked AA, “What did Santa get you for Christmas?” Audrey looked at her with a quizzical look, like my friend wasn’t speaking English or something.

Getting ready to go out and play in all the tall drifts of snow with Abuelita. Comin’ back inside the warm and cozy house with found treasure…ice cycles. Audrey found them to be quite edible. Uemmy (Audrey’s version of yummy).

Sorry for the fuzz, but this picture was so wonderful. Piggyback rides!

And for the best part of our Christmas together—we threw Jesus a birthday party! Audrey and I planned it all out complete with streamers and balloons. We made birthday cupcakes with sprinkles. And we made him a birthday card. Christmas Eve, after dinner, we sang Jesus happy birthday and blew out his candles. It was a wonderful celebration.

And Audrey thoroughly enjoyed eating her cupcake.
