Christmas Day

Christmas Morning kaylee woke up and we all had to wake braden up to see what Santa had left for the kids. The kids were very excited to see all the presents. Kaylee got an Easel, with all the paints, she also got a Liv Doll with some accesories, she got the Just Dance 2 wii game. Braden got a racetrack, lego truck, star wars spaceship and some board games. I got a watch that I have been wanting to ge and a new coat. Jorge got a sweater and The Pacific which is a HBO series of the war. We also had our family over for our traditional christmas day breakfast. For reasons not under my control we didn't take any pictures. I guess we were busy eating, talking, opening presents and cleaning up that neither Jorge or I had a chance to take pictures.

Christmas Eve

This year on Christmas Eve we had dinner at my sister in laws house. My inlaws prepared a very good dinner with Pork, Hayacas, Pan de Jamon and potatoe salad. The food we ate is typical from venezuela. This year we've had the pleasure of having family come from Venezuela. Jorge's niece came to spend christmas and new years with us. It has been fun to talk to her and be with her.

Temple Square Ligths!

This year as every year we go to see the Temple Square Lights. Every year its so exciting to go as a family. We have made this a little tradition and the kids are always waiting patiently for the time in which we go. The lights this year were beautiful, one new thing they did was to put nativity scenes from different parts of the world around the big water fountain infront of the COB (Church office Building). They were very cute and nice. We also went inside the Joseph Smith memorial bldg. to see their big christmas tree. I love Downtown in christmas time with all the lights and all the hustle and bustle of this time of year.

We also got to see the Christus Statue which is one of our favorites to see. The visitor center was very packed and there was a line to go up to see the statue. Jorge and I had a very special moment when we were going up to see Jesus. We said to each other " this is how its going to be when Jesus comes again, there will be a long line so that we can all see him". I got very emotional because I was able to feel the spirit. And I know for a fact that Jesus will come again and that we will be able to see him, touch him and feel of his presence. What a great time of year to talk about our Saviour, Reedemer, Comforter and the only Begotten son of our Heavenly Father. Let us always think of him not only in this time of year but through out the whole entire year so that our lives can be blessed.

Thanksgiving and Family Photoshoot

This year for Thanksgiving we went over to my brother's house for dinner. We had the traditional turkey, potatoes, green bean casserole and collard greens casserole and for dessert we had pumpkin trifle and chocolate chip cookies. We had a great evening with our family. I am so thankful this year for a warm house, a family that I love each day more and more, for jobs, for our Saviour Jesus Christ, our gospel and for all the blessings that we have received this year.


On November 27th we had a family photoshoot by Matt Peterson Photography. Our location was Antelope Island. It was freezing but the day was beautiful. After the shoot we all went to eat lunch to Texas Roadhouse, the food was very good and we all had our tummys full.
