Another day of snow and fun
















The kids were able to get out of the house today and go tubing with Gabbie's friend Sophie. As you can see there is lots of fresh powder and that makes for a lot of fun tubing down the hill.

A Lazy Sunday morning


The three kids and Roxy relaxing and watching TV after all the fun last night.

Let it snow





As we celebrated Christmas inside the house, snow kept falling outside.  Roxy loved it.

All the presents






Well it seems once again it seems like we were trying to solve the worlds economic problems with the amount of presents the kids got.  Dayanara was over after her second present and just wanted to play with her make up kit, but with some prodding she make it through the rest of her presents.  Gavin and Gabbie opened all their presents before playing with all their different presents.  Gavin loved his Sports Illustrated College Football book and Star Wars Lego.  Gabbie loved all her presents but like good big cousin spent most of the time helping Dayanara play with her presents.
While the kids played the adults enjoyed opening all the nice presents we got from each other. 

Santilli Christmas Dinner at Our House






Due Josh and myself having to save lives over Christmas we scheduled the Santilli Christmas on Saturday night so everyone could be there.  We six to eight inches of snow outside we all settled in for a fun night of celebrating Christmas together.  Lot of good food and drinks filled the night, with the three kids running around having a great time.
Dinner was prime rib with roasted squash and potatoes.

Cousin Dayanara's 2nd Birthday party






Gabbie and Gavin helped celebrate the 2nd Birthday of their cousin Dayanara on Friday night.  Balloons, presents and birthday cake what fun it was.  It was a very monkey birthday.

Gran arrives to make treats and the christmas pudding






Gran arrived in cold Portland on Wednesday to spend Christmas in Oregon.  After a nights rest Gran was in the kitchen with all four Gran kids and Stephanie making different Christmas treats and most importantly the traditional Christmas Pudding.
