Every year since we were little it was tradition that we take our pictures with Santa. We missed out last year but we already got it done this year. I recommend Town Square's Santa. He has his own little house and everything. This particular picture was taken at the Bass Pro Shop. We went there because they had 8 live reindeer pulling the sleigh and we thought it would be cool to see. Well apparently Santa thought "we" were cool to see. He was a really really young Santa and asked us to "sit on his lap" and not like he asked all the other little kids ahead of us in line. You might be a redneck Santa if you hit on the kids coming to tell you their wish list!!

Day 2 of Christmas Memories
I wish I could remember the year but I think Tarin was in 2nd or 3rd grade. On Christmas Eve, my Dad's side of the family gets together to exchange gifts and usually my Aunt Laurie spends the night and we all open Santa's gifts in the morning. This particular Christmas Eve, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with Jim Carey just came out and so Tarin let me dress her up as Cindy Loo Who. We put a sock in the bun on the top and clothes hangers for the wired pig tails. It was a bit hit and a lot of fun to put together.

25 Days of Christmas Memories
My next 24 memories I try to make more exciting with some young childhood memories and pictures. 1 down 24 to go!
As I was putting up the Christmas tree with my mom tonight I had several Christmas memories so I decided to post 1 memory a day. This will be fun for me and my family to have to think about fun things we have done in the past years at Christmas time.
Day 1 is a memory from last year. A little background info...my boyfriend seems to surprise me every year with a real Christmas tree in my room. So last year I am laying in my bed half asleep looking at my tree when I "think" I see it starting to fall but I figured it was just my eyes from being tired and then all of a sudden I realize it WAS falling. I tried to jump up to catch it but I didn't make it in time. It stayed on the floor until I woke up the next day.

Update Overload
The twins turned one. We had a Baby Sesame Street themed party. I wish I could have got better pictures but it was difficult to get through the grandmas, grandpas, great grandparents, aunts and uncles paparazzi. I guess that what happens when your just a cousin.
Thanksgiving came and went. My sister and my cousin were in town. Also my mom's brother and his kids were in town. It was the first time they have ever came for Thanksgiving. We may have had 22 people here but we were still 2 people down. My Aunt Laurie was in the hospital (I hope that never, never happens again) and my cousin Skeeter was in Disneyland with his dad (I couldn't blame him for that). We managed to get a picture in Wednesday morning though before he left.
Clockwise: Me, Jeremy, Brandi, Tarin, Kalah, and Skeeter (my cousins on my mom's side)

We went out as a family this past weekend. We went to the Geshia house for dinner. It was a hole in the wall but it is one of those places where they cook for right in front you. My sisters and I had never been to a place like that so we thought it was the coolest thing. After dinner we went and saw Four Christmases. It was pretty good. They showed most of the funny parts in the commercials though. 
Tarin thought she was at a Chinese restaurant and had to cross her legs.

My sisters and I also went to the Jonas brothers concert. I guess it is like my N*sync but it just wasn't as good. My little sister loved it though. We didn't know until we got there but they were playing with Demi Lavato, her other favorite singer from Camp Rock. We had a really good time. We made shirts and all!
The cover of the Neon section the weekend they performed.
Cute shirts but no I really don't have a crush on Kevin
Tarin and her pink feathered Rock Star Christmas tree. It is sooo cute

I AM THANKFUL FOR...
*my family
they have and always will be there for me no matter what I do. my parents have raised me
into who I am today and have made sure I have had everything and anything I need. My
sisters for being also a good friend. a friend to go shopping or to the movies with and someone
to talk to. my aunt laurie has not only been aunt but my 2nd mom, one of my best
friends, and my god mother. the rest of my family for all of the memories I have because of
them.
*my boyfriend
he is is one of my best friends who I know will tell me truth when I ask for his opinion, who
will joke around with me to put a smile on my face, who will sing to me in that car, who will
put up with all my nagging, who fits in with my family and is more like my dad than I can
imagine.
*my job(s)
doing hair is definitely my passion and am so thankful for the chance I had to go to school and
to learn what I did. the dental office is somewhere that I have grown to love where I get a
steady paycheck, have a good boss, have met some awesome friends, and have learned so
much.
*the roof over my head
somewhere where I can come and feel safe and belong. somewhere that will always be home
even after I leave. thankful even more so that my parents have provided me with such a
place.
*my car
the first major purchase I bought all by myself and the reliability it has so I don't have to walk
*thanksgiving
for the chance it gives for you to sit back and realize what you are grateful for and the
opportunity to get together as a family and spend time making new memories.
*God
for always listening to my prayers and watching over me. this past week with aunt laurie in
the hospital I know he has been answering my prayers by watching over her and allowing her
to get better.

A Little Freaky
I wouldn't have thought that it would really come true. I was hoping but who would have thought. I started last Monday at the dental office I used to work at before I went to hair school. It is such a relief not to have to look and apply for jobs any more and even more relieving to have a steady pay check. I am so greatful that I was able to even find a job at this time with everything going on. I have never believed in those fortune cookies but I just might now?!?!
So I was cleaning out my purse the other day and I found this fortune that came out of a fortune cookie that was at the Sedillo's house a couple weeks ago and this is what it read:

Better Late Than Never
So it was the twins 1st Halloween this year and I decided to make them the Flintstones. I made all of the costumes except for my Aunts. I was so happy that they fit and looked good on. I can't believe it but these little monsters are already going to be a year old this month on the 18th. It is amazing how fast time goes.
