Christmas Joy

Favorite Christmas Pics...





The reaction from Aunt/Uncle gifts...




Hello.  My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die.
(Perhaps the best line from the best swordfighting movie ever...)


It's a promise ring.  (I promise not to hit my sister.)  :-)


What happens when the youngest child is up at 5:30 on Christmas morn...
(Notice:  There are no pictures of said youngest child napping. 
We did find her crashed on her bed at 9:00 pm last night, though.)



The Princess carries a weapon.


Blessings to  you,
Mamita

Talent Show

Friday was Cupcake's Talent Show at school.

Twice a year, their music teacher holds a talent show, just to get the kids used to being up in front of people with a microphone.  It is always a special show.  I love watching the kids grow up and get more confident each year.

Cupcake has a hard time learning the words to songs, so she usually sings with a friend.  She made a lot of progress this past year.   It was her best performance yet. :-)

Sorry for little Miss Blankface.  I didn't get her mom's permission . 






Blessings to you,
Mamita
