We celebrated the birth of Jesus at our house this year with a Christmas breakfast of Honeybaked ham & eggs, and beef tamales. Shortly after breakfast, we gathered around the Christmas tree to open gifts. What a joy it was to see little Vivian open all of her presents! It was one of the first times that she had unwrapped gifts by herself since she was old enough to appreciate opening and playing with her new toys. Some of those toys included a wooden hand-made pony and baby potty (from grandparents Gonzalo and Maria) and a doll stroller and Elmo toy guitar and book (from grandmother Lenore). The first present that she opened was a pink "popcorn-popper" lawnmower. Then I received the coveted pink Coach clutch that my mom had bought...totally cute! The gift cards were also in abundance: Target, Outback & Elephant Bar, Starbucks, Blue Water Day Spa & Nails Max and of course, movie tickets! The dinner and entertainment won't cost us a dime for the next couple of weeks :) Lenore received a beautiful "Grandchildren" frame from Maria and Gonzalo and a Target gift card and coin/bill holders for her collections from Ben and me. Vivian continued to help with the unwrapping of the gifts while my dad opened a digital frame and my mom unwrapped a palm theme rug & curtain bath set. Benny also got a digital frame (but his was in the shape of a golf ball) and a cool yellow Laker zip-up sweater, all from yours truly. My parents gave each other JC Penny gift cards and a bluetooth set for my mom's phone. Finally, Vivian helped mommy to unwrap some cute Christmas hand towels from Lenore. Of course the most important gift of all was the gift that was sent to us from God: The birth of His son Jesus. Happy Birthday Jesus~
