The boys out in front of our house on 12/26/06, enjoying a ride in their truck. 

Before the storm...after Santa had delivered, we got one picture. 

The aftermath...and, Christian checking out his new Viewmaster!  

Daddy (aka Santa) after building a fort for the boys on xmas eve night! 

Luisy and Christian considering building their own fort...This could take a while. 

Handyman Luisy! He really wanted the tool set for xmas - he tried to be really, really good so that Santa would deliver, and he did!!! Too bad for Momma and Daddy it has 2,090,000 pieces in the set. 

Christian with his big, giant new balloon... It is bigger than he is (not for long though, his mouth is stuffed with Jelly Belly's...pretty soon, he'll weigh in at 350 lbs.) 

Daddy and Christian sporting the new basketball gear - Christian is wearning Luichy's new shooting sleeve on his leg...nice! Christian has his new tray loaded up with all of his xmas presents and has been pushing it around the house all morning! 

Nanna and Papa are not feeling well, so they sent a few gifts to the boys on Christmas Eve... They were just getting to opening them here... 

Ohhh, boy - what have we got here... 

The boys were asked to wait patiently by the couch while Daddy brought in the new surprises...just another minute now... 

Still waiting...patiently to see what is coming... 

Mommy and Daddy had just opened the door - Luisy knows already what he sees - It took Christian another few seconds to get it - those were THEIR new bikes!!!!! 

Boy oh Boy! Look at me!!! I can't make it go yet, but I sure look great trying!!!!!!! What a smile... 

Wow!!! Luisy - he sure looks great on his new bike. Thanks again, Grandpa and Grandma! 

Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad!!! The boys really had fun visiting Santa today at the mall. They were so excited to see him; they hopped right up into his lap and started chatting away! Luisy was so interested in inspecting his gloves, wanted to see that belt and was thrilled to tell him about what his ideas were for Christmas presents. Christian sat happily and watched. At the end, Christian told Santa that he wanted, "that bad guy toy". Santa said he knew just what Christian was talking about! Good thing - mommy and daddy are clueless!

Here here is - our main project these days. Diesel is doing great and getting used being in our house, playing outside nicely... etc., etc. He's just a great puppy! 

Here is the puppy! He's getting big fast and is doing very well at his puppy training... 

Luisy got dressed up in one of Christian's onsies... Nice...  

Ohhh, the tormet and torture that is being a two-year-old. It is almost cruel to post this, but he was crying because he wanted more of his Gerber Gummi Snacks (he'd already eaten two packs)...Sooooo sad. 

Christian was wiped out after a day of playing at a mommy's group playdate. We met with friends to have a pre-holiday party and enjoy a morning together. Christian came home, sat on the couch with is milk and actually fell over, asleep. 

Ohhh, my! How pretty... the boys are actually wearning p.j.'s with feet - it is finally winter in Arizona (it is getting down to the 30's and 40's at night!) 

Who's ready for bed? 

Luisy at bedtime...We have an incentive/reward system... the boys have three "circles" each. If they get a warning to stay in bed, stop talking, etc. after we put them to bed - we (mommy or daddy) remove a circle. In the morning, if they have any circles left, as a reward, Mommy takes them to Starbucks!!! Luisy's favorite morning stop...They love the organic chocolate milk (in a box) and a blueberry muffin. 

Daddy, Luisy and our pup, Diesel!
