Special Edition: Noche Buena (Christmas Eve)


Christmas/Navidad 2009- Mexico DF.

The grandkids/Los Nietos
Trying to get 4 kids to look and smile is not an easy task.
Que dificil, tratando de hacer que los 4 miren Y sonrian!!!

Opening presents from 'ita: Tonito gets his first guayabera, and the girls get beautifully emboridered blouses= LOVE IT.
Abriendo los regalos de ito e ito: Tonito recibe su primera guayabera, y las ninas reciben blusas embordadas preciosas= ME ENCANTA!!!


After presents, the traditional sparklers that seem so dangerous even though I am told they are safe.
Despues de los regalos, las luces de bengala tradicionales que parecen peligrosas pero me dicen que son seguros:).

Can you believe I let my kids do this!!!?? I cannot.
Puedes creer que dejo que me ninos hacen esto???:) Yo no.

but we took cool pictures and they really liked it.
pero, sacamos fotos padrisimas y les gusto muchisimo.

Leaving the shutter open
Dejando el "shutter" abierto:
The whole family together... We played the white elefant gift game
Toda la familia, juntos... Jugamos con los regalos del "elefante blanco"

The omnipresent and heartwarming Christmas family photo, that should come with the soundtrack of us laughing hysterically at the malfunctioning camera timers balanced precariously on highchairs....
La foto navidena omnipresente y conmovedora, que debe venir con una grabacion de la risa histerica por las camaras (balanceadas precariamente en la silla alta) y los timers y su malfuncionamiento...



Que divertido!!! Feliz Navidad a todos!

At least you did the sparklers outside. Remember when we did them inside? What fun! Did you have a pinata? Tono has such a wonderful family! I'm glad you all had such a memorable time with them. Tono's grandmother looks good too! I'm glad she could enjoy such a celebration! Love, Mom
