Greeting Card From Mercedes

This is the coolest Christmas card from Mercedes. Okay, it is very secular, not religious at all, but at least it says “Merry Christmas”.

“Change me”, that’s what the t-shirt says. A great Christmas gift from Christiana’s Aunts.

Christiana: “Thank you Aunt Liz & Aunt Maria, now Daddy will be fully motivated to change my poopy diapers. He doesn’t change my poopy diapers that much and this t-shirt will help him. Merry Christmas to you!”

On The 6th Day of Christmas . . .

. . .  My true love gave to me . . . 6 faces of cuties . . . okay, so it’s three girls times two, isn’t technology just great!

Merry Christmas on the Sixth Day of Christmas!

On The 3rd Day Of Christmas My True Love Gave To Me . . .

. . . three Playmobil for the three girls . . .

Rebecca was so happy when she unwrapped one of her gifts and it was a Playmobil, a big hit this year at our house.

Rebecca got the Family Camper. It has storage for bicycles, camping chairs, forks, spoons, cast iron pans . . . and my favorite, cell phone. Even a cell phone cradle in the dashboard.

The German ingenuity . . . incredibly awesome!

Christiana’s First Christmas

Filled with so much love and joy.

I have not been able to capture any picture of Christiana holding Baby Jesus yet, but she has a special devotion to Baby Jesus, special love.

We could all learn from her, to love like a child!

Thank You Baby Jesus!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & Thank You Baby Jesus!

Our Little Red Riding Hoods

Merry Christmas and thank you Grandma! These are beautiful and perfect to wear in the cold weather of Alabama.

This Day Christ Was Born

Dear Families and Friends,

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! Thank you for all the prayers and the love you have shown towards our family. May the Peace and Joy of the Holy Family be with you and those you hold dear. “Glory to God in the highest, alleluia.”

“Hodie Christus natus est;
hodie Salvator apparuit; hodie in terra
canunt Angeli,laetantur Archangeli;
hodie exsultant justi, dicentes:
Gloria in excelsis Deo, alleluia.”

All Eyes Are Still Fixed On The Baby Jesus

Our Parish has a beautiful Nativity set outside the Church and it always attracts little children including ours. Our girls never get tired of looking at the Baby Jesus. I think we should all learn from our children how to adore the Baby Jesus, in a simple and most loving way!

Christmas Octave with The Friars

We had a fun day with the Franciscan Friars bowling yesterday. Most of the Brothers and Priests were there and even my Mom bowled too. Father Miguel was the winner from our group. I guess he's still got it!

After that my parents and Fr. Miguel came over to our house for dinner and we opened our gifts. Thank you Papa and Mama for the Christmas gifts for all of us. The girls love their dresses (Abigail didn't want to be in this picture with her sisters). Thank you Fr. Miguel for the goody basket.

Father Miguel and I just had to do something silly for this picture.

Wishing You and Your Family the Joy of God's Miracles This Christmas!

From all of us in Alabama,
Michael and Coby + Baby,
Gabriela, Rebecca and Abigail

Gifts From Troy, Michigan

Merry Christmas to Tom, Barb, Amanda and Rob and thank you for all the gifts for us, especially for the girls. They love it! Your buckets must be full by now. Love the Merry Mochacino! Thank you and we miss y'all.

Thank You Albert & Ira for the "Warm" Gift

Merry Christmas to all in California! Thank you for the throw blanket, we need it more during this winter - freezing days!

Visit to Grandma and Grandpa

We went to visit grandma and grandpa on Tuesday to deliver their Christmas gift (they are sitting on it in the picture above). We also helped them plant their little trees in the front yard. The girls were a big help for Daddy, especially Abigail! She wanted to do everything Daddy was doing, from shovelling to pouring the dirt.

Therese and Her Family Paper Dolls

Rebecca received a great Christmas gift from her godparents, Monica and Marius; "Therese and Her Family Paper Dolls". They were busy the rest of the day cutting the paper dolls, dressing them up, lining them up and listening to the story of St. Therese and her family. You can check it out here if you'd like to purchase Therese and Her Family Paper Dolls
Thank you very much to Monica and Marius! This is more than paper dolls, a great gift and a great teaching tool!
