Christmas Morning Magic

Christmas in Harrisburg,PA!...For Christmas comes but once a year. We had a wonderful , happy Christmas Morning!..Lots of presents, candies and food!. It's always a blessing being able to spend time as a family and with daddy. Have our traditions and just being happy together!...Merry Christmas to all!!!!.

Christmas Eve dinner

We invited all the missionaries for Christmas Eve. I made Chilean food. We barbecued...oh well,... tried!... I wanted to have a Chilean Christmas dinner...but I forgot that in Chile is summer and here ..WINTER, -10 degrees sooo...not the greatest idea to even try to light the BBQ because it was frozen!... Kyle lit the barbecue and it caught on fire...oops! It was pretty late at that time and the missionaries were almost here. I had to come up with an idea...so I decided to put the meat in my wok...it didn't work!...the elders were here already...so Kyle came to the rescue!...Meanwhile Mimi and Kayla kept bugging me to open the presents!!...everything was going wrong....and I wanted to kill the cat I didn't have at that point!. Oh well, Kyle barbacued with charcoal, it took longer and the elders had to wait but it worked fine. I learned that no more Chilean BBQ for Christmas in USA. The food was great and I was happy ...the girls? not really, they still wanted to open presents and the "meany mom" said : "noooooot yet!"...then our spiritual moment, wasn't "that" spiritual trying to keep Jack from stealing baby Jesus from the nativity, the girls trying to sneak out with a present...etc,etc,etc.
We finally finished with the "white elephant present exchange". It was really fun and funny!. I was happy that everybody was gone at 8:00pm. and after a few minutes our girls went to bed !!!...Santa needed to come so they didn't have any problem falling asleep. Thank you so much Santa!...I need it a break!.

Christmas

We had a lot of fun making a Ginger Bread House. Kyle was totally stressed out about the structure of the house. I was laughing a lot! I thought he was going to get an ulcer. The girls kept eating all the decorations and frosting, thanks heaven we made it before it was too late!.

Ice storm

Hace algunos dias atras tuvimos una tormenta de hielo. Fue muy bonito el paisaje aun cuando estabamos congelados hasta los huesos. Ver los arboles como si fueran de cristal, y el pasto como si fuera coral por el hielo acomulado,era un paisaje que valia la pena ver. Esa semana la minima fue de entre -15 y -18 grados, ahora ya regresamos a la normalidad y estamos matandonos de calor con maximas de 3 y 4 grados.

Halloween Party at School

I helped in Dominique's Halloween Party this year. I love to go to her class, the kids are funny and really cute. They are really friendly with me. They like my accent. I love Gabriel he is funny!...and my favorite is Lamond, who asked Dominique to marry him, but Mimi told him she couldn't because he wasn't a Mormon. and that she wanted to marry an ex-missionary. A good priesthood holder, a man who marry her in The Temple...poor Lamond he was clueless...he didn't even heard the "Mormon" word before or anything about "missionaries" and temples. He was so confused and lost after Mimi's answer...he just wanted to marry her that's it.
 I'm really proud of my girl she knows what she wants already...and she wasn't afraid to tell anybody her goals!...Good for you my princess!.
The Party was a success and everybody had lots and lots of fun!...and sugar high! too.

Halloween!!!

The Witch and the Cat!...Mimi and Kayka for Halloween, Kayla decided to be a Kitty, black Kitty, and Mimoncita a beautiful Witch. I had so much fun painting their faces and going around the neighborhood. I'm glad though its over..too many parties and CANDIES!!!.

My little pumpkins!!!

We went to get some pumpkings to carve...we finally came back just with pictures , the pumpknigs were way too expensive. We had a lot of fun anyways! Oct,2007
