Rene and John invited Brian and I to a Nuggets game and to say I was excited would be the understatement of the century. We were both so excited and couldn't wait for the big day! Well, it finally CAME!!!

Here we are in the car on the way to the game.

Still excited after we got there

The best part of the game was being there with my sweet heart!

Christmas Day

We got up bright and early Christmas morning, as per Aguilar traditions, to open presents. The children were so excited, but Lukie was still very tired. They sat patiently and waiting for their turn to open presents and they loved every second of it.

Uncle Chris was there which added to our fun!

It was a perfect Christmas Morning! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

New Christmas Traditions

(putting ornaments on the tree - 2009)

So at this point in the month we have gotten requests from each one of the kids' teachers for our family traditions. I don't think I have given it much thought until this year and I am sad to say I don't think we have enough. We read Christmas stories each night in the month of December. We open one present on Christmas Eve which is of course PJ's, and then read the story of Jesus while wearing said PJ's. We leave cookies and milk out for Santa, but that pretty much sums up our season.

After watching Modern Family last (which if you don't want it you really really should) I have decided that we need to branch out, we need MORE! Also the fact that Ethan wrote about a Halloween tradition instead of Christmas proves we are in short supply. 

I am looking into getting the book Elf on the Shelf which is a fun book that comes with an elf the shows up in a different spot each day watching the kids so he can report back to Santa. I think the kids would go crazy for that!

So today I am on a mission to find more traditions to add. I would love to hear what you are doing to make make memories with you children.

By the way it is a whopping 11 degrees outside! We are warming up!

three degrees

Yesterday I sent the kids to school in three degree weather. We bundled them up and hoped they would be warm. I got a few pictures of them to mark this freezing day.

This was right when they came out. As you can see Kai has already managed to get snow on his jacket!

The wind made it all so much worse! Poor Ethan!

Kai was all about it! 

I didn't get a pictures of Olivia all by herself because once the wind started blowing her attitude toward being out side took a turn for the worst. 

She was in no mood to get her photo taken.

Today school was delayed because of sub zero temperatures. It was -10 when the were supposed to leave this morning!

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!

Kaylee is HERE!

All day long Kai asked when we were going to get her at the airport. Her flight didn't arrive until 3:40pm so needless to say we had a VERY long day. I tried hard to distract him but he was focused. We picked up Ethan and Olivia early from school so they could come to the airport with us to wait for her. We were all so excited.

After we got her bags we headed off to Casa Bonita.

We ate and watched all three shows.

Then we went through the scary cave.

Then we played video games.

Then we got our candy and headed home.

It was a perfect night!

Honk

Today Ethan left for his ONLY field trip this year. Tons of parents volunteered to go and they only needed 4 so they picked names out of a hat. Guess What?!?!?! My name wasn't picked (enter sad music here.)

But even without me Ethan had a great time. He had so much to say about the musical and his favorite parts on the car ride home. But what I got most from what he said was that his favorite character was the CAT.

I am so glad he had a good time but I am still a little crushed I didn't get to go with him!

Picture Time

When ever I am looking for Olivia she can usually be found somewhere in the house taking pictures of herself or random objects. Today Luke and I were her subjects of choice.

Only after her own portrait of course!
