Christmas 2012

 Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

We prepared a special dinner on Christmas Eve, wore our Christmas pajamas vovo Zete made for us, then after dinner Giovanna read all the Christmas cards our family received. She is so cute!

On Christmas day, we were so excited to open gifts, specially our sweet Giovi. Everything is so much more fun with her in our lives!

Thanksgiving 2012

The Matute family invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving with them this year. Everybody shared a plate. I prepared mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese.

During the feast we all took turns saying what we were thankful for. I am definitely thankful for our health and our family. I am specially grateful for baby Giovanna who brings so much joy into our lives.

For Black Friday shopping we bought Giovi a brand new kitchen. She loves cooking us delicious food.

Giovanna turns TWO

Our baby girl is two years old, and to celebrate her we threw the most adorable party. This year the theme was Enchanted Forest.

We used lots of cute forest animals, butterflies, sweets, and of course a yummy cake I baked myself!

Giovanna was so happy! She tried some sweets, and played, played, played.

Everybody had a great time! Our baby Giovi got a lot of cute gifts and attention. 

Thank you all for coming and making this cute girl's special day a blast!

Luz de las Naciones- Sus Promesas

Today we took baby Giovanna and met with the Matutes and Villatoros at the Conference Center to watch Luz de las Naciones. It was a beautiful production with lots of colors, dances, and songs. The performance was based on the ancient civilizations of the new world when they witnessed Christ's coming to the Americas as we learn in the Book of Mormon.

Unfortunately, Giovanna was not feeling her best with runny nose and cough, but she still watched the dances, clapped along, and made it throughout the entire show. Plus, snacks helped as well.

After the performance we hurried home to give baby Giovi a bath, medication, and bed.

It was a beautiful night.
