A day of sledding

 Santa brought the kids sleds for Christmas,so today was a perfect day to Introduce the little ones to the world of sledding. The weather was so warm that they did not wear there coats until the very end,but mainly so when they crashed it would not hurt there Arms. It was so fun to watch them sled down at times they where picking up speed pretty good so we decided it would be good to put on there helmet's. Nerlange on the other hand she enjoyed it, but toward the end she was not a fan of the cold snow and she did not like wrecking on the sled.

 Fabrice is such a little care taker when the kids would crash he was the first one to run down the hill to help pick them up. I was very proud of Kaleb also he was helping the kids fine good spots to go down and if they need help he would push them down the hill and when Nerlange was a little scared he took her over to a smaller hill.  it was a fun day and Fabrice and yonelson want to know when we will be going back!

The First of Many Christmas

 We have had a very Enjoyable Christmas,Fabrice had so many Questions of How Santa would get in our house and Would he be able to see him. He had written a letter to Santa about the 3 things he wanted which was some candy,a bike and a surprise toy. He loved his Remote control car but he was not a big fan of the books Santa left him. He just had a big smile all day long and said Santa is one nice guy.  Yonelson was just the best he truly appreciates every present he received from Santa even the Books. He just loves Life and all he gets from it! Nerlange was such a sweet little girl she loved all the toys and dress's and her Baby doll's
She said to me after we where done unwrapping toys and cleaning up,"That Santa is a nice man I love him". I am so glad you love Santa and I am so glad you where able to be Home to love the Christmas spirit.  After we unwrapped the presents we went over to Dave's sister to have a brunch and while we where driving through are Neighborhood he asked if everyone had received gift's I love that he is still concerned about other people.  I hope everyone has had a nice Christmas and i love that this will be the First of Many Christmas  for the younger kids!

Its been a busy month already

So i have not  been keeping up lately it is a busy month and we are barely into it. we started out setting up the Christmas tree which the kids just loved but i think they didi not understand it all the way they kept asking if the next day santa was coming, I told them no we had lots of weeks until then.

We also had our ward Christmas party which the kids where part of they asked fabrice to be one of the wise-man and nerlange was a angel and yonelson one of the shepherds. Fabrice just loved the party at the end of the night he asked if we could do it again since it was so much fun!

we also have had fun decorating gingerbread man and christmas cookies. it is just so fun teaching them all about the fun Holiday stuff!! But we also have had one little Nerlange missing her Mom and asking if she could go tell her all about the fun stuff but she also just wants to come back right after. so I am sure it is when you are doing something fun and you just wish everyone could experience it also. I just have to reassure her that her Mom loved her so much and that is why she is here with us. Well 12 more days until that jolly old man comes to give these three sweet kids there first christmas WOW !

We had a great Christmas Eve

We had a very fun Christmas eve we spent time with Dave's Family. Dave's side of the family has lot's of little kids so the party's are loud but fun, The kids all loved decorating cookies for Santa
our kids loved making the strangest cookies and ones that probably put poor Santa into sugar shock when he ate them.
They also learned about white elephant gifts which made some kids Happy and others where like "What is this Present?" but we had fun laughing at there reactions.
So we have had a great Holiday season but we are ready for the new year and hope it will be a great one!
