In the Christmas Spirit

Well it was another Christmas filled weekend...

Only a few more days for Christmas, and of course, I had some last minute shopping to do. Friday night, the three of us braved the mall. It suprisingly wasn't that crowded. We were in and out in about an hour. :] YAY! I hate crowds and rude people but it was a good time :]

Saturday I made tamales with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, manuel and at one point even with Wally. Yes I know, I actually made tamales :] I must say, they are pretty tasty! Anyways, we must of made about 400 or more. We made cheese, meat and even sweet ones too. Aubree was asleep for most of the tamale making. Thank goodness! When she did wake up, she wanted to be right in the middle of it all... of course! :] Later that night we went down to Fountain Valley to look at Christmas lights! Some of them were absolutely amazing and others were only so-so. It was super cold, but we were all bundled up and had a great time :]

When Sunday finally rolled around, I decided that I needed to get my last gifts for Manuel and not wait to go on my lunch break Monday. So, Aubree and I braved the mall. We got there right when they opened at 9. We found exactly what were looking for and were in and out in an hour :] WONDERFUL :] After Aubree's nap we went to my grandma's to hang out with my family. It was nice to get together with them and see Aubree actually able to chase after the kids :]

After we put Aubree down for bed, Manuel and I decided to look back at Aubree's pictures. I can't believe how much she has changed! It feels like I just had her and here I am almost a year later! She is so bright and just a big ball of sunshine :] This weekend she showed us that she knows where her tummy is. It was the cutest thing :]




We are looking forward to holidays and the short work week :]
Below is a video of Aubree walking :]
