Santa is coming to town...




Dada and his boy. They were snuggling and I had to capture this moment. Ever since Jack learned to crawl - he does not like to nap. He doesn't want to miss a thing. He will nap in the car but trying to put him down in his crib is a disaster - he will cry and then find something to entertain him for a little while - like playing with the wire from the baby monitor (!) and untying the bows from the diaper storage hanger... ugh, he's such a busy body. I'm at a loss how to get this baby to nap.
Victoria got a camera for Christmas and Elise loved it too - she took about 100 pictures on Christmas morning - here are a few she snapped.

Jack LOVED tearing the paper - then putting it in his mouth.


Jack LOVES Cecie - he just laughs whenever he sees her.

Victoria loved her Fancy Shoes! She put them on and wore them the whole day and did a pretty good job walking in them.
The cousins
Charlotte is a great big cousin - she's always there helping out.

Christmas Eve and a little impromptu birthday celebration for Cecie. Here she is with the Henderson and Zavala grandbabies

Victoria and Jack met Santa. Victoria did SO well. She told him what she wanted for Christmas (Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty doll) said thank you and then asked for a cookie and candy cane. But Jack was not excited about the man with the white beard. Both times he meet St. Nick he exploded into tears.

The Zavala Family had the best Christmas and we have so much to be thankful for.
