We enjoyed another wonderful Christmas. My favorite picture from Christmas is the one where Trinity is putting lipstick on Eliana and touching it up with her finger (first collage, bottom left). It's such serious sister business. :)
We enjoyed the first real snow of the season. It was freezing cold for over a week, and my girls surprised me and played outside every day. For long periods. We enjoyed lots of hot chocolate afterward. Our favorite is Abuelita. It can be found in the Mexican section at your local grocery store, and it's heated on the stove with milk, and it's yummy! Another treat of the freezing cold-- our pipes were frozen for 4 days. But by some stroke of luck, we had cold water in the bathrooms. We were able to flush toilets and wash our hands, which made it much more endurable. I washed dishes and bathed the kids pioneer style (heated water on the stove, so I guess more modern pioneer) and Alex and I showered at my mom's. Good times.
I tried to start Cruz on rice cereal a few weeks ago.
He was not a big fan.
I started a new journal of sorts. Both of my sister have one too. I think it's a great way to keep track of bits and pieces over the next 5 years.
Our sweet girls have given us many concerts. I hope that maybe this year they will get to sing together in church :)
And our Cruzy just keeps getting cuter and cuter every day! He's rolling over-- when he feels like it, and is almost sitting up. I can't believe how fast they grow up! It makes me need to squeeze him extra hard everyday to savor it.
Life is truly great.
