Christmas Eve
























Every year on Christmas Eve we head to New Braunfels to celebrate with TJ's extended family. We opened presents that day with Momo, Popo, Alex, Cindy and the girls! Lyla has such a great time opening her presents. Her face would light up and she wanted to get every single thing out of the packaging!




Later that night when we returned home we got ready for Santa. Lyla put carrots out for the reindeer along with cookies and a glass of whiskey to warm Santa up on his long journey. We also sprinkled reindeer food in the front yard so that Rudolph could find our house. After that we snuggled on the couch and read The Night Before Christmas. What a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Christmas, pt. 1











So, the Caballero family computer bit the dust right before Thanksgiving and the pictures have piled up and are slowly being processed! Therefore, I will start from the beginning! Early in December we took Lyla to see Santa at our neighbor's house! Before we left we had to take some pictures of her in her precious Christmas outfit. As soon as I get the Santa pictures I will post those as well! Here's the beginning of the Christmas craziness!




P.S. There is also a picture of our sweet girl with her favorite household appliance! She's obsessed with anything that plugs in! She especially loves the vacuum! We also have a space heater that we use to heat the downstairs when it's cold outside. She loves "the hot"!

Thanksgiving, part 1
























































So, I've been unable to blog because our laptop, which houses all of my photo software and uploading capabilities died. Yes, the "blue screen of death" is how my husband describes it to people! So, I guess we're in the market for a new laptop and a new desktop! Lucky us! Why do all of the electronics in our house die at the same time?










So, I decided to come to my mom's house and set up shop! We had a lovely Thanksgiving! It was so nice to have time off and get some shopping and decorating done! My grandparents, Grandma (Lyla calls her GG) and Grandpa Hoffman came down from Kansas. Brandon and Lyndsey also came for an extended visit! It was so fun to have everyone here! Here are a few photo's of our holiday! Parts 2 and 3 to come soon!
