Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve- Not the best picture of me, but everyone else looks great!

Our day is pretty much over. Aaron and Ashley are watching a new Elmo DVD, Andy is making a pizza and Alex is trying on his new clothes. We had such an awesome day today. Last night I told Alex that we have so much to be thankful for and we truly do. We have a strong and loving marriage, 3 beautiful and healthy children, a new home and a relationship with Our Savior. This had been the greatest Christmas of my life. The kids were so excited to get up today, Aaron was the last one awake, but we all stayed in Ashley's room waiting for him. Then, the troops came over and we opened gifts. Krissy and I both tried to get Aaron down for a nap, but when he wouldn't bite we went to Mom's. He actually took 2 breaks here while opening gifts and didn't open the last of his gifts until tonight around 7:00. At Mom's he took a nap in the middle, so for the first time in my life I was the last one done opening gifts. We all got really awesome stuff and had a wonderful day. The kids wanted to get Alex another tattoo, so we did. We gave him money and each drew what we thought should be his next tattoo. The theme was pretty much an A with wings and something beneath it. An "A" for all of us, the wings in memory of his brother Angel and the words at the bottm varied-mine was beloved. My wish is that each of you had the same pleasure today in celebrating the birth of Jesus and spending time with your family. Merry Christmas to all! Tomorrow my Dad and Sandy are coming for Christmas so it will be another BIG day in the Rodriguez household. Well, I am off!
