Christmas in Pictures

 Christmas Eve was very relaxing. We drove around and looked at some really awesome Christmas lights. There is a house in particular (picture above) that always goes above and beyond. They handed out candy canes as you drove by. Their house looked amazing! The picture above is just a small portion of it.

 When we got home Phillip started a fire. I fixed dinner and we sat down to watch Home Alone (an Ocampo tradition).  Ah, and we also opened one present each, which were pajamas.

 Here is our tree before the girls woke up. Phillip started a fire, selected some hymns to sing and got the nativity video ready for us to watch before opening presents. 

 The girls got The Polar Express book, CD and bell pack.

 Does this look familiar? It was in my wish list, thanks Phillip.

 The girls' ornaments from Willow Tree.

 Phillip turned evil with his new hatchet.

 Thanks Martie and Wes. WE love our present :) Next time you are here I promise to cook a great meal for you guys.

 Phillip and I both got Garmin GPS watches for running!

 Addison loves her new toy.

Maya happy as can be :)

 Our Christmas dinner was delicious.

The Coat: A Story of Charity

Happy Birthday Jesus!

I love you Jesus. You came to earth to give us the opportunity to return to our Father in heaven. I will forever be grateful! 

The Christmas Story

So cute! You have to watch it.

The Nativity

Today was the day. Maya's first performance. She did good for a 3 year old. She danced and she jumped. I was a little embarrassed, but then I just laughed and enjoyed the moment. She was the star of the show ;) All our friends came after the show to tell us that she should be an actress because she wasn't shy at all. She was really comfortable on stage. They all enjoyed her goofiness and dance moves, thank goodness!
All the kids did great. It was a really cute play, with real baby and all. I am hoping I can get a copy of the video. I will share it here as soon as I get it.
Here are few pictures in the meantime.

She was so happy to see her papi. He was able to take his lunch break to come and see her.

Introducing...

our new little nameless puppy.

Some church friends found her abandoned out in the street. They took her in and cleaned her up. They took care of her for about a week. Yesterday after attempting to see Santa (Maya wouldn't go near him), we drove around delivering Christmas presents and cards. We stop by this family's house and  they convinced me to take a look at her. I did. She was the cutest little black lab. They wanted me to bring her home with us. I told them that I couldn't make a decision like that on my own. Ryan insisted and put her in my car. I said I probably will be back with her to return her. Maya fell in love with her right away and Phillip said, "lets keep her" instantly. So we got ourselves a new little pup. She is a cutie :)

Elders Quorum Dinner

 We had fun last night. The Elders Quorum presidency gets together for dinner quarterly. Last night was our turn to be the hosts. The first counselor and the secretary were out of town so we invited our friends, the Freemans. I am glad they were able to come. Their little guy, Jonathan is a sweetheart. Maya had the most fun of all. By the time our friends left she was so tired. She didn't go to bed until 9 pm and didn't wake up  until 9 am this morning (not typical of her).   

These picture bellow were taken by Maya, our little photographer.
