Family Picture

The weekend before Christmas my mom's side of the family got together. It's been about 4 years in the making but here's everyone:

Christmas Back In The States

Awww... to be back home in the states. My parents came up that morning to join us & to make pancakes for breakfast:

Happy 6th Birthday Miranda!!!

Yes, my baby is 6 year old today! It is VERY hard to believe that she is. She's a fun, loving kid w/ a huge imagination. We couldn't image our lives w/o her.

MJ's Christmas Party

MJ has been so excited about her class Christmas party. I got early to go. Getting ready to make her cookie:

Present time:

She was so excited about getting a new baby Zhu Zhu Pet. She was even more excited to start her Christmas break.

Eliza's Baptism

One of the best thing about being home is getting to do thing w/ my family. Last weekend Eliza got baptise. Emily's good friend Jenny took all these wonderful pictures: Our family picture. Warning MJ was NOT in the best mood that day as you can see:

The cake was so good. MJ of course ate nothing but the frosting.

Getting Together

My mom's side of the family always gets together the weekend before each major holiday. This year I decided to host Thanksgiving at my house.

Here's Miss Eliza in her turkey shirt:

I Gotta Feeling

For some reason MJ really likes the song, "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas. You got to watch the video down below w/ sound. She sings & dances a long to the song:
