Wrapped into One!

Mama and Carys @ the Nutcracker in Salinas.

( She kept asking me if the people on stage were real people and not a movie.)

Such a sweet time.

Checking out baby Jesus's animals. Lots of lambs and goats.

We totally 'cheated' this year. We decided to hit up Home Depot for our tree. And in less than 5 minutes, we picked, paid and had our tree in the beck of Sam's truck! Awesomeness! Sam seemed happier than all of us...wonder what that was all about?lol We were also able to visit Streets of Bethlehem in Salinas this year. What a sweet treat for us and the girls. Made the story of baby Jesus so tangible for both of them. And to top off this Christmas Season, we also teamed up with the young and fun Villasenor's and all watched the Nutcracker Ballet in Salinas. We are trying to make better memories with the girls this year than years past. With more family time, honoring the birth of Jesus and what that means for our salvation and a deeper appreciation for the arts. They LOVED it all! So did Mama!
