All done! I thought it was a great idea at first...then...well, it looked so much better on TV lol!...well they did put them on NICE and BIG silver candle holders...so it looked very shiny but either way it was a nice idea and we had so much fun doing it together...and putting them next to our Advent calendar was daddy's awesome idea...Thanks everyone!
Daddy being silly as we finalized our project...
Kids helped me with a small Christmas project for the house...I actually saw this on HGTV and it was pretty cool...Emily and René A. helped with the unwrapping of the peppermint candies...
Who's this?? You guessed it! René volunteered for the after school program at Rene's school to be Santa and hand out their gifts...René A. was so proud of him...
ok, so this is Rene's gingerbread house...somehow that's not what it looked like when he brought it home...it looked like a hurricane had gone by...then again maybe he was just trying to be original considering that we DO live in Florida...lol...
The day after the kids had their Christmas party and they made Gingerbread houses...aww...don't they look busy? yeah...if only they would behave this way at home....
and this one is Rene's a beautiful turtle...and yes...we bought it....
René A. school had an art sale and Rene's grade was in charge of doing their own Mola Art using the Kuna Indians as their inspiration...
ok, I promise it will look better when we're done decorating it....
On the 2nd week of December is when we FINALLY had our chance to get our Christmas tree...we normally get it the day after Thanksgiving but we couldn't do that this year, so out we went...I wanted a "tall" and thin tree, René wanted a tall and big tree and well this is what we got...oops but wait we had to take our picture first...every year we take a picture in front of the tree that we are purchasing that year...and well this year we couldnt' because it was a real challenge to keep these kids together so...this is the best shot we had....

This area should really be about "us" even though I would be the one posting everything...Well we are originally from Miami, FL. We've been married for 11 years and have two beautiful kids; René (8) and Emily (2) We moved to Orlando, FL. 2 years ago and we love it, we keep busy everyday with different activities ( PTA, WORK, SCHOOL, BOY SCOUTS, DAY CARE) and on the weekends well René(daddy) always figures something to do. I found out about this blog "thing" and it got me thinking "I can do this..." So, here we are I hope everyone who visits will enjoy it as much as I have building it...Thanks for stopping by!
