The Holidays



Christmas Eve 2010


Is been a while since we have written in our blog. Well, this Christmas we had some friends from Germany over to visit and tour beautiful Italy. The Aller’s Family spent Christmas Eve with us and it was a wonderful evening. Gordon cooked all of the dinner. He didn’t want anyone in the kitchen with him to help him. I think it is an American tradition! (Husbands like to cook, I never saw that in Mexico) he did a great job!



Mi esposo cocino el 24th todo muy rico! Es una fortuna poder compartir en familia.


Que rico se ve.


Mi soda...como saben nosotros no tomamos pero asi disfrutamos mucho.


festeggia felice....bravo!!!



Este es un pan tradicional de Italia me acuerda mucho a la roca de reyes en Mexico el 6 de Enero. Muy sabroso que sabe.




Mi amiga de Colombia y se esposo de Chile. Muy lindo ellos viajaron desde Alemania para visitarnos.



The kids decorated some cookies and all of them did very good. Then we had a Christmas Nativity play with the kids.


Los chicos se divertieron mucho haciendo galletitas de navidad.


Todas las galletas sabian muy ricas! Esta foto me encanta, es la manita de Kim.




Jonah decoro esta galleta el solito.


Aqui todos los chicos, Michael, Kim, Kristy y Jonah.


Ellos al mil por hora decorando.


Los chicos haciendo una obra, muy linda que les salio.


Que sepan que es lo importante este dia mas que los regalos, es la vida de un ser tan maravilloso que vino a este mundo y dio su vida por nosotros.



Kim y Kamillah, haciendo de Maria y del bebe Jesus.


Jonah..mi bambino tan bello.





Mis hijos no piden nada si tenemos, tenemos sino no hay nada la navidad va mas alla de cosas materiales. Lo importante es pasar un dia bonito y acordarse del significado de este dia durante todo el a~o.





Detalles como este son los mejores regalos...



Tambien festejamos un cumple...este dia.
Then on Christmas day we opened some presents in the morning and it was also Gordon’s birthday so we had a chocolate cake which the kids helped to decorate it.
On Christmas day, it was my turn to cook, first time I ever did it by myself, but it turned out good, I think. In the afternoon, we had some new few families, that have moved into our Branch, come for dinner. The Wood’s, the Rasdahl’s, and of course our close friends the Vargases, Jen Alvey and her beautiful daughter Keira, Melissa and Giovanni and her bella bambina Camilla, and also Mari from Romania. And the Aller’s too. We had a great time. We ate and ate…then we played games. It was really fun!
We had a great time and are so happy to be able to spend this time with friends and very blessed to be able to afford for a great dinner.
We were truly blessed to have a great Christmas!!!
































La verdad tuvimos una Navidad muy bonita, estoy tan agradecida a mi Padre Celestial por todas las bendiciones que nos da, y la oportunidad de poder compartir con amigos.

New car

On Wednesday, It was Kristy’s birthday. We got our new van but it feels weird driving because it is big and here in Italy the parking spaces are really small. It is a nice van and has 2 DVD players which the kids love. Now as soon as we get in the car, Jonah wants to watch a movie.









Kristy & Jonah.

Lago di Fimon

The days here in Italy have been really nice so last week we went to lago di Fimon for a walk. The kids love walking around and throwing rocks at the water. Then another day we went again to el lago and fished. Gordon spent the day with Jonah and I went fishing with the girls. It was a nice sunny day until some cloud came and rained for 40 minutes. We almost left but we felt bad we hadn’t caught any fish so we stayed and when the rain stopped, we started catching fish. The fish we caught were so good. I came home and Gordon prepared and cooked them. It was the best fish I have eaten in a while.
