Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas to everyone, and we hope you all have a prosperous new year! We enjoyed another wonderful Christmas together watching holiday movies, reading stories of why we celebrate Christmas, and spending time together. The Carrera kids must have been very well behaved this year, because Santa brought them many of the things they hoped for. We love having times like this to just sit back and watch our kids being themselves. Happy holidays to everyone we know and love.

Dakota's Christmas

So here are the last of our holiday pictures of the kids. They turned out so amazing! School is almost out and this year I am not driving myself nuts with baking and crafting. Instead I have been playing with Rebecca, and playing Christmas music and watching movies with the kids. We are going to try to keep things a little more low key this year so we do not have anymore accidents. (like with Rory last year after Christmas, or after thanksgiving, etc.) Lucky for us my parents will be back so we will have lots of fun enjoying time together and celebrating the holidays. Dakota and Rory are both working hard to be on the nice list so they can get a new imaginext batcave.... and they insist they want to share it together! I love our kids. We have a fun bunch! So that is it for now. I will probably not do too much blogging since The kids will all be home. So I will see you again around Christmas Day. Love to all of our friends and family, and Happy Holidays!

Some Christmas kids

Once again It is that wonderful time of year when I am in a perpetual good mood because of the joys of the Christmas season. I love decorating the house, doing special holiday crafts with the kids, and playing christmas music while we all dance around like fools! I am always grateful for all the blessings we have, but somehow it all just seems magnified in my mind more. I mean there was a time when we did not know how we would be as parents, then how we would do with 2. Then later Rory having some setbacks, and Rebecca coming along. Fuad and I are a strong team,and we are just so happy everyday to see all of our silly kids goofing about and giggling. We are blessed. Plain and simple!
Onto the bit most of you pop onto the blog for....Pictures! A friend of mine down the street has been taking pictures of our babes since we moved here. And every time I am amazed at how wonderful they are! She has a way with my kids that I cannot manage. But none the less, they are gorgeous! We took the younger 2 on a Friday while Dakota was in school. So his will be coming along shortly. But in the meantime here are a few of Rory and Becca in all the holiday goodness!

A quick silly christmas picture

Ok, well I am not going to actually post a "silly" picture,since it involves Christmas lights and Rebecca putting them in her nose. So instead you all get the only two nice-ish pictures taken. Bring on the holiday fun!!! Love you and enjoy!
