Vasquez Christmas 2008

Christmas Eve
Leaving Reindeer Feed (Instant Oatmeal)
You can tell by the no shirt, no shoes, that the cold doesn't bother these two!


Since our TV is sitting in front of our fireplace right now, Brandon left a key outside for Santa.


Gavin loved the candy left in his stocking. Santa could've made it a little easier to open though.


Sweet Face


Rascal Face


Even pirates love Christmas.


So silly!


Oh Dad, a Wii!!! You're the best!
(Brandon thinks it's for him, but I think Mark really got it for himself!)


I just love Christmas clutter.


Handy Manny tools. Can't wait to see what Gavin is going to fix now!


Papa came all the way from Hot Springs (22 hours)...


and Tio John came all the way from Austin to see these stinkers. We are enjoying the time with them!


Merry Christmas to all...


And to all a goodnight.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas

For unto us a child is born...




And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid...Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2:8-11 NIV

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Maybe I'll get one afterall. It snowed for quite awhile today. I was sitting at the computer and glanced up at the window. Much to my surprise and delight...it was snowing. Didn't stick for long though. I am a crazy snow finatic. I really need to move to the North Pole with Santa. Everyone around here today was bundled from head to toe. I couldn't even bring myself to wear a jacket. I did finally change from flip flops to boots:-)

Brandon and I decided we are officially staying in El Paso now. If it's snowing, we're staying. Even if it never gets thick enough to make snow angels, we'll settle for a good snowball fight.
