Opening Late Gifts

Zoë finally received her gift exchange from our friends gift exchange. We, of course, had to miss out this year because we weren't sure when Jaxon would make his presence known. Anyhow, Nina, wanted to come visit the baby as well as drop off Zoë's gift.

Zoë's finally opening those gifts today!

She loves them all!

Celebrating Christmas with Grandma

Since we didn't get to head out to Brian & Ivon's this year we hung out at Grandma's house today. And Zoë got herself some cute new clothes!

Christmas Night at Home

And now we spend the rest of Christmas at home where Zoë enjoyed opening ALL her gifts! Especially the big one for Mommy and Daddy! The excitement on her face... worth it every time!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Spending Christmas day over in LA with the Samoza clan.
Zoë and Dustin got to meet their little itty bitty cousin, Arla. And they both got to carry her.

And they got a little visit from Santa!

And here are all the great grand children with Mama! Merry Christmas everyone! Next year, Jaxon will be with us!

Zoë Celebrating Christmas with the Pascuals

Since Jaxon is due any moment now me and Jeric stayed home while Zoë went with Lola and Papa to Auntie Oma's for the Pascual's Christmas celebration.

She spent most of the day with her new little cousin, Greyson.

And the whole Samoza Clan, minus me and Jeric were there celebrating with this years themed Santa Hats.

And here are all the Pascuals that had a fun day celebrating together. We missed out, but with no Kaiser nearby Palm Springs, it wasn't gonna happen. We'll be there next year though! And with the little baby.

Super Cute Christmas Tags

Leah got to work this year and made super cute gift tags for Christmas. We wanted to support her as well as have some of these super cute tags. Well, the order arrived today and look how cute they are!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

...everywhere you go! I finally got the rest of my Christmas Deco orders in this morning, so it was time to finish decorating. The star came last night.

I also hung up our cute Toy Story ornaments as well. Didn't want Zoë to handle these since they were breakable. Here's Ham!

And lastly, the faux wreaths and huge ball ornaments to wrap around our banister.

Tada! Christmas Deco complete!

Time for Christmas Lights

Today we add lights to the tree! Well, more like Jeric and Zoë get to with me being pregnant and all. And what's the best movie to have on, Home Alone of course.

And here's the deco team in action.

And of course, Zoë worked on hanging a few more ornaments.

Finding Our Tree

Yey! We get to shop for a Christmas tree today.

Zoë and Dada checked all the trees so we can find the perfect pretty tree.

After checking several trees, we found the perfect one and took him home! And while Jeric was propping him upright and making sure he was straight Zoë thought it was the perfect time to attack. Lol.

And now she gets to be the very first to hang an ornament.

Cute Little Backpack

Got a cute little belated Christmas gift from the Zunigas. It's a Pochocco backpack from Loungefly.

He's got his face up on the top half of the backpack.

And his cute bird friends pop up around the front zipper pocket on the lower half.


And the inside is lined with black fabric full of outlined sketches of Pochocco and his bird friends.

It also has two side pockets, cute ears and half pleather, half nylon, adjustable shoulder straps. (all not pictured).

This has totally been my go-to bag over my Stitch one. But, mostly because of the side pockets and front zippered pocket.

Post Christmas w/the Zunigas

Celebrated Christmas with the Zunigas today. Zoë had tons of fun gifts to open!
