The Saldana Zoo

Christmas was a lot of fun. It was great to get to spoil the kids and it was fun to see them so excited. I had a pretty spectacular Christmas thanks to Gilbert and an amazing friend of mine *cough* Lisa *cough*.

Santa left presents!



Elise's pile



Matthew's pile



Viviana didn't get much because she's still too little to really care about much of anything other than food.

Milk and cookies for Santa



Matthew was still knocked out when Elise woke up.



She tried to wait patiently for him to wake up.



But she just didn't have it in her



Reading the note that Santa left for them



Sitting in his new car



So happy that he got his Alphie robot that he's been asking for.





Taking Alphie for a ride



Then we went outside on a cold Christmas day to drive the cars.







After nap time they have a few tea parties with Elise's new Beauty and the Beast tea set



Mommy also made Matthew a new Autobots shirt =)



We went up to the Stewarts' house yesterday to have Christmas with them. The kids had a ton of fun together and so did the adults.

This captures the difference in the boys' personalities so well.



Matthew playing doctor. He gave Gilbert a shot and then put a "band aid" on it.



The babies =)





Vicki went to University of Texas, so I made this little ball as part of Amelia's gift.



Unfortunately, the ball and Matthew's shirt are the only handmade things I made. There aren't enough hours in the day for me to be as crafty as I'd like to be.
