Our first Christmas in Spain

Yes, yes, yes... I am so far behind on blogging!  So sorry!  I'm going to post some pics of the most important events that have happened in the past month and a half (there've been a ton!), just so that we can get ourselves up to date.  Sooooo.... I will start with Christmas!  How horrible that I am just getting here!

We had a wonderful time celebrating the birth of Jesus here in Spain.  We worked hard to make it special for the kids, since we really didn't have family around.  AND so many of you from home made it such an exciting day for our kids with all the love and gifts you sent!  Thank you to all of you!!!!!!!!  We have been so blessed by all of you... beyond what we could have imagined. 

We made our traditional Christmas cookies!  Candy cane cookies are the boys favorite!

And, of course the decorating!

We did fondue for Christmas Eve.  The kids had a blast!

Carolina just LOVED her new kitchen set!

Timon, Paul and Emily (who happens to be Paul's girlfriend now... haha...) joined us for Christmas breakfast!  What fun we had all together!!  Nothing like family away from family! :) Great times, Great memories.
