We made this snowman and had a snowball fight this morning! It was so much fun!

Ariana woke us up this morning all excited that there was snow on the ground!

THE FIRST SNOWFALL!!! Last night it started snowing as we were driving home from some friend's house. We pulled over so Ariana could play in it!!!

Even Alexia had fun!

More

fun

at

the

children's

museum!

We went to The Children's Museum on Friday night with a friend! It was well worth $3.00!

Yesterday morning I went to get Alexia and she was standing up in her crib!

Alexia cut her first tooth this morning!

We all went to Shark park on Sunday afternoon. It is about 18 blocks from our house and Ariana and Alexia road in the jeep. It actually goes pretty fast, 5mph!

Alexia has been carrying this toy sax in her mouth. It is so funny because she crawls everywhere and keeps it in there the whole time!

Tio Gaby and the girls!

Yusef and Gaby playing guitar!

Yusef's sister, Naima, brother, Gaby and his girlfriend Carrie came up for New Years. We are going to try to make it a tradition to be together every new years!

Yusef's brother and sister came for Christmas and we all went out! We had our neighbor's grandaughter babysit the girls! It was good to get out, but we missed them!!!

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!

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!
