In the Blink of an Eye

This past weekend went by so incredibly fast! I swear, it's like I blinked and the next thing I knew, it was over.

Friday night, after work, the three of us went down to the Citadel to see if we could find a Christmas sweater for Manuel. We did end up finding a really cute sweater at Old Navy for a great price! They were having a sweater sale and we definitely scored!

Saturday we got up and went to Downtown Disney to activate my Disneyland pass before it expired and did a little Christmas shopping in the Disney store. There were so many people at Disneyland! I could hardly believe it. I would have thought with the economy being so bad that most people couldn't afford Disneyland, but I was apparently very wrong. lol At the Disney store we ended up getting Aubree's first Christmas ornament. It is so adorable! It is light pink with baby Minnie Mouse on it and a place to put her photo. We also ended up picking up our Christmas Cards there as well! I couldn't help myself! So be expecting a Disney Christmas Card from the Perez family :]

Later that afternoon, Manuel set up his parents new surround system, while Aubree and I got ready for our family Christmas photos. I must tell you, Aubree looked absolutely ADORABLE! Of course she would though. :] After Manuel set up the surround system, we took our Christmas photos. That was an event in itself. We had two cameras going at once (One by Wally and the other by Ashley) while Grandma Silvia and Grandpa Joel did every silly thing they could think of to make Aubree smile. If Aubree was smiling, either Manuel or I wasn't. Eventually we got a good picture. Only after 100 shots though. lol. :] We are so excited to be sending out our first Christmas cards out as a family!

After the whole Christmas picture event, we ordered the fight. I must say that Saturday was definitely the busiest day of the entire weekend. I swear, I felt like I woke up, blinked and it was already 9pm. :]

Sunday morning Aubree and I got up and went to Target to pick up some baby food for daycare. She is so funny. The entire time in Target she was saying "cool". Her new words are "cool" and "caca". I keep telling her that "caca" is a bad word, but the more I tell her not to say it, the more she does. Such a stinker sometimes :] That afternoon we went to the Christmas Parade to watch Hannah cheer with her school - OLPH. Hannah looked so cute and was really excited that her family was there to cheer her on and take lots of pictures. :] Aubree had a great time seeing all the animals and hearing that bands play. She played with Auntie Megan's dog Charlie and with her little buddy Ella.

After the parade we all went to my grandparent's house to celebrate Dylan's 2nd birthday. He had a balloon theme! It was so cute! He was so happy to run around and play with the balloons and rip open his presents. He got a lot of great gifts and was so excited to play with them :]

I can't believe how quickly time is flying by. Manuel's 26th birthday is only 2 days away and Aubree's 1st birthday is only a little over a month away now. We are so grateful for all the wonderful people we have in our lives. :]
