Weekend Recap.

This weekend was hot. Like it needs two t's HOTT. 

I don't remember looking at my 'Weather Channel App' on Sunday,

but Saturday said it was 91 degrees out

and in little words underneath it read: feels like 102. 

The 'Weather Channel App' can be wrong a lot of the time, 

but this weekend, it was spot on. 

We felt that "feels like 102" alright. 

With temperatures like that, and no central air...

we were left with no choice but to go running to the pool. 

Running! 

Look how beautiful this day was!

Believe it or not, he is just tickling him...haha. 

Look at those wrinkled fingers! 

Pool time cuddles! 

Hope everyone had a great weekend! 

A very Merry Christmas

This Christmas is one I want to remember always.

Christmas time is one of the hardest times for me to be away from my family,

but being able to share the day with our boys and make it special for them makes me happy.

We started the morning out with singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus.

The boys thought it quite silly at first but by the end of the song (which is much longer in Portuguese) they were shouting it!

Then they got to open their stockings, and the gifts we had for them. They were truly the sweetest. Hugged me after each opened gift and said thank you a million times.

After the boys opened their gifts, Isanon and I snuck away to open ours!

This was the first year that Isanon completely surprised me with all my gifts, and I truly loved every single one of them.

Isanon is going to kill me for posting this picture, but I can't help it...his little kid happiness is the best! Oh, and mom, here is proof that he loved the games you sent for him! :)

After opening presents, we had breakfast and decorated our sugar cookies.

And then....Santa came with more gifts... 

Look at those happy faces! 

A very Merry (late) Christmas, from our little family to yours!



Oh, and I caught Santa playing Xbox! :P
