Christmas 2012 & Makayla's Baptism

We had a fabulous holiday this year!  Makayla was the perfect age for opening presents and getting so excited!!

Here is our tree and some of my favorite ornaments....




 

Makayla helping mommy decorate the tree :-)  Or I should say putting the ornaments off!

 

My sister and my nephew came for a visit and the kids exchanged gifts.  They hardly get to see each other since they live in Columbus, so it was a very special visit.  :-)



 


On December 2nd, 2012 Makayla was finally baptised!  I am so happy to finally have this done!  We had a really hard time selecting godparents and getting everything together.  We decided on Nick's best friend Justin Dean and Nick's sister-in-law Donna.  Makayla was so good through mass, but by the time we got to her baptism afterwards she was not very happy!  It was nap time and she was exhausted and cranky!  Oh well, more memories LOL.  :-)








 
Christmas Eve we always go to the Borjas' for a big party and they make tamales every year.  Makayla had a blast playing with all of her cousins and a visit from Santa.  I didn't really get any good pictures of this evening since I was chasing her around the whole night and exhausted!  Being 7 months pregnant is really starting to wear on me! 
 
Christmas Day we enjoyed the morning as a family just the 3 of us.  It was very nice!!  Makayla was spoiled rotten by Santa of course LOL.  I bought Nick a Kindle Fire, which really surprised him and he loves it!  I got gifts cards to Bath and Body and Victoria's Secret, so I was one happy girl!  After we were done, we headed over to Nick's parents house and exchanged with his parents and brother's family.  Then we headed to my parent's house to exchange gifts and enjoy a delicious dinner!  My parents made prime rib, shrimp and mashed potatoes.  Amazing dinner!
 

 
 



 


That's all my updates for now!  I will post soon about my baby girl turning 20 months old already!!!
Makes me so sad!  Such a big girl!
