We took a walk to the beach yesterday with Ariana leading the way with her Jeep!

Titi Alina bought the girls matching outfits! Here is Alexia this morning getting ready to go to church!

We took the girls to a place called Storybook Land on Tuesday night. We had so much fun!

This was Ariana's present from us this year. We always wanted one when we were little, so we got it for her!

Alexia loves riding in it too!

Here we are Christmas morning opening gifts!

Ariana brought home a bunch of christmas art projects from school. This one is for sure my favorite, although it scared me a little when I took it out!!!

We met Yusef at work last night so we could have dinner together! Alexia wanted that burger soooo bad!

Always smiling!

Ariana got this skateboard last year from a lady that I used to clean house for. Yusef was teaching her and she did really good! Oh, and that is our new truck in the background!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! We ran out of cards, so sorry if you didn't get one! We hope that you all have a blessed holiday and year to come!

Ariana got to open a couple of presents too! Here she is with a Dora dart game from Ted & Jen!

We took Alexia last night to get her flu shot and the nurse asked if she was sick. I told her

that she did have a runny nose and she has been pulling on her ears. The doctor checked and she has an ear infection. They put her on Amoxycillin. This is a picture of her yesterday. She is a trooper!!! She weighed 16lbs. 3oz. Today she is 7 months.

I forgot to add this one! This while Lisa was here. Yusef spent the whole day with the girls alone! They all fell asleep on our bed! He said he felt like he worked a 12 hour shift!

Here is Santa coming out of a 65 Dolphin, the same helicopter that Yusef works on!

Yusef and the girls!

Yusef took the girls to see Santa last Saturday while my sister was here. Santa flew in on a helicopter and brought a gift for Ariana! Alexia was a little scared of him!

Another picture of Lisa and I!

Here is my sister Lisa and I. She came here last weekend and we went shopping, to the boardwalk and did a little gambling! We had a lot of fun!

Tonight was the Women's Christmas dinner for our church. It was held at The Carriage House in Galloway, NJ. We had such an awesome time! The food was great and it was so fun to hang out with only the women! The best part was hearing personal testimonies! It is such a blessing to have good friends, a great church and an awesome God!!!

Jen, me and her mom!

Me, Jen, Dasha and Shannon

Our table!

Here is Ariana and her friend Skittles!

Friday night we had YMC and we hung out and sang. Our friends let Yusef have their guitar to practice on and he was trying to play!

Caught in the act! AGAIN!

They are having so much fun together!!!

Are you copying me?

Yusef was holding Ariana while she balanced on his hands!

We had a great Thanksgiving! We went to a friends house, Jason, who Yusef works with!

Ariana came home from school today with her face painted, a little hat on and the necklace for Thanksgiving. She was so excited that she got to make them!

I'm so happy!!!

We gave Alexia prunes for the first time last night! I'll let you decide if she liked them or not!!!

Every day Ariana brings home something from school whether it be art work or just practicing her name! I am so thankful for her teacher, I guess she has the best one out of five of them! Here is what she has been bringing home during the last couple of days. My favorite is the

candleholder made out of seeds!

Today we went to this little village called Smithville with some friends from our church. It was awesome! They have a little dog named Abby and Ariana fell in love with her! Here she is playing with her after church! She was having so much fun, that she didn't see the metal handicap signs in the background she ran right it to one!

Here is Ariana's first school picture! Last Monday she fell off the slide at school and her front two teeth got knocked loose a little. Today she ran into the couch and they are hanging on! The dentist said they should be okay if she doesn't touch them, so hopefully they won't fall out! Yusef was joking with her and told her, "At least it was after her pictures were taken!"

Ouchie!!!

Alexia had her six month shots today and a flu shot! Poor girl four shots! She weighed 15lbs. 3oz. and was 27in.
