Parker Ward Christmas Dinner

We went to the Ward Christmas party. It was our second year going and we enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time. We were the party table, having a good time, talking and laughing. I really enjoyed night out. We will for sure do it again next year...

Breakfast with Santa

We took Braiden to breakfast with Santa for the first time this year. I was curious to see his reaction. He loved the yummy chocolate chip pancakes and was having a good time. When Santa showed up and it was time for pictures, he wasn't very excited, he it was his turn, I had to make sure I was ready with the camera because I saw he would last too long so, I was able to get two pictures with no smile but, at least I got the pictures for the blog.

Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed spending time with our church friends.

Christmas Carriage Ride!

We have been living in Parker for almost 6 years and we had never taken a Christmas Carriage Ride so, today when our aunt and uncle came to visit us, we decided to do something fun and different and take them on a ride, it was cold but not super cold, we had so much fun going around Downtown. This might be one of our new Christmas tradition, take a ride every year during the holidays season.

After the ride, we went home and had dinner and a great conversation with our aunt & uncle. Braiden had a blast playing with them.

All of us - that was definitively a fun ride!!

Great job Braiden :)

Did I not ask them to smile?

A happy family!!

Home for the Holidays - RS Dinner

Today we had the RS dinner and a program. It was such a great evening where we were able to enjoy delicious dinner, great company and a wonderful program. I had a really good time and I really enjoyed being part of the party table.

Thanks Julio for watching Braiden so that I could attend this event with the girls

Christmas Party @ The Johnsen's

We attended a Christmas Party @ The Johnsen's, it was a wonderful evening. Carol was in charge of the food (Cafe Río menu - pork, rice and beans), for dessert we had a cookie swap (it was a wide variety: pistachio, butter pecan, Carmelitas, red velvet, chocolate chip, etc). We also had a white elephant gift exchange (we all brought toys from the Dollar Store). Since I'm all about pictures, we ended up having a photo shoot, we took pictures by couples. We had an amazing event.

Thanks so much to Carol for making the delicious food and to Danni for hosting the party.

Love you my dear friends..
