Fun week with Cousins!
We have had a fun week with both of our California cousins in town!
Loving having some time to play with my kiddos (without school getting in the way :))
Ice Skating on Saturday with the cousins. Alegra did great!
Cruz did really well too but he isn't much of a fan!
Hot Tubing After!
Love this picture!
Movie time after hot tubing, constant party!
Razor Rides!
Sunday Afternoon Bears vs. Packers! Great game, Bears lost though! Cruz and Shawn were happy! Rich had to hold back the tears :).

Christmas 2013
Waiting at the top of the stairs to see if Santa made it to our home! Lexi doesn't like to get up early, she likes to stay in bed and kind of moan for a while to get up. Cruz was the first to get up at 7:00 a.m. We woke up Alegra at 7:40 because Cruz couldn't handle it anymore! Grammy came over to watch the kids see their gifts too!
The girls got a razor from Grammy!
Cruz is kissing his Lego Mindstorm EV3 he got from Grammy!
Alegra got her dress up box from Santa!
Grammy loved seeing the kids so excited!
Cruz's rock light he got from Grammy!
Cruz was so excited to give us the gift he made. It was this adorable book he wrote in. He made the wrapping paper too. I believe he understood how much fun it can be to give, he was so excited!
Daddy getting his hair done by dad!
Lexi finally got into the unwrapping the Christmas gifts when it was almost all over. Santa did bring her this cute princess castle that I hope she uses!
Cruz with all of his gifts. Santa brought him a Crystal making kit….should be fun!
Razor driving!
Crystal Making!
We took the Razor over to the sledding hill. Santa left 3 sleds in our front yard, so we went over to the hill to test them out! We had fun sledding as a family. Afterward, Shawn went on a fat tire ride, Lexi slept, the kids played, and I showered! :) We then went to Grammy's at about 3:00. Rich's family came over and David, Rebecca, and David's parents came over for dinner. It was a nice evening! For having a few rough days before Christmas, it ended up being a great Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve Day
Shawn ended up working on Christmas Eve Day, I ended up getting the flu and feeling pretty crummy. The poor kids! I wasn't in that good of spirits! Actually though, I offered to take them any where they wanted and they really just wanted to stay home and play and be excited for Christmas. I let them order Despicable Me 2 in the afternoon while I just layer on the couch and ached! We did go out to dinner at Lugano with my mom and it was pretty fun. I was feeling bit better at that point. Grammy went home and we played a family game of Twister before heading off to bed. I was glad I have a very hands on hubby that night!
Twister
She loved pushing the angel on the manger scene, it played a song and she would dance around!

Biggest Mommy Blunder
Cruz found the Christmas gifts today when I was at the dentist and a babysitter was here. He then showed his friend and Alegra. It was a bad day to leave the house!!! He never went in that room but they decided to play hide and seek and he went into the closet. Plus, Lexi got the stomach flu and threw up while the sitter was here and then Cruz threw up later this evening. I spent most of the day cleaning up and sulking for the 3 hours I was gone!! Bummer of a day…..but I guess in the whole scheme of life it really isn't a big deal, it just ruined some of the magic for me for Christmas morning :(

Fun Day at The Dinosaur Museum
We went to the Dinosaur Museum today to celebrate our friend Esme's birthday. Cruz and Shawn skied in the morning and then I took the 2 older kids to hang out with Esme, and her friend Seven at the museum. We went back to her house after to have cake and ice cream!
Later tonight we meet up with Wyatt, Walker, Lucy, and Ella with their Grandpa Frank and Grandma Linda. We met them at their hotel and had pizza and swam.
