A Christmas Miracle

Aaron Oliveira Luz

I sure love that boy.  Isn't he so big!?!

Christmas in the Valley-Bates Nut Farm

We had lots of fun at Bates Nut Farm. We hit a lot of traffic on the way so we missed Santa Arrive in the helicopter. We did take the "Polar Express" hay ride to the North pole to see Santa. All three boys fell asleep on the drive to the farm. We couldn't get Matthew to wake up, so he slept through everything. Too bad for him.  Its crazy what kids can sleep through!!

Thank goodness we have a double stroller.. lol..

It was pretty cold out there for us Californians. and yes Teresa is wearing her Mrs. Clause outfit. She insisted on making us wait in line again(we had already taken the picture of Sam and Lincoln with Santa) so she could get a picture with Santa! I know she's a little obsessed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 

I think this video speaks for itself, but I know it is soooo cute!!  I love these boys so much!

Holt Christmas Party

 Alright here are the pictures I had Dad take at the Holt Christmas party.  I know, there are only two of them but these are the pictures I wanted taken. Henry insisted on taking a picture with Biza(great grandma) Maybeth, and Mardin. He wants to make sure the kids will have it to remember her by when they are older.  Family is very important to Henry, and it makes me so happy to know that he is my husband.  He is such a great guy! We have big plans, and goals for next year(NO MOM, I am not pregnant!!!) so wish us luck! Merry Christmas to all.  I will post more pictures after Christmas.

Cousins & baptism

Here's a lot of pix.  Trayton and his baby bro.  All the kids wrestled with Travis and let me tell you, it was CRAZY.  I'm glad I wasn't in the middle of it! 
Travis, Naomi, and Tracker all took a nap together.  Cute.  And Mary Rose and Tell Walter together.
Trayton's baptism was wonderful.  I was so happy and couldn't keep back the tears.  Trayton will have the Spirit with him always to guide him.  I love this gospel.  I'm so grateful I have wonderful parents who have lead me and taught me to follow the right.  :)
