Our Gio Trip!

Giovanni William Ochoa was born Feb 2, 2013.  He was a couple of weeks early which gave him some time to settle down before we came down to overtake his life.  We had a great time with him and his big sister Sophia, along with his Mommy, Daddy, and Gaga!

A Busy December

We have had quite the busy December. It is busy for everyone, and we feel blessed that we get to enjoy so many holiday festivities together. Here are some pictures from our month. Merry Christmas to all!
Bobby came back!

First flakes of snow!

A cup of hot chocolate after snow and before basketball.

Cousin John came to visit!  We made gingerbread men!

Santa and Mrs. Claus visited the library.

I want a batman batcave toy Santa!

Cheese!


Mommy bought her boys new ornaments- the Griswold moose mug for Daddy, Batman for Nate, and Star Wars for Nick.

I sat back and let them go this year!

The cheeks still hang low :)

Working together!

Bobby brought special treats from Santa for St. Nicholas Day.

In our shoes!

Our beautiful view.

Nick posing for a pass!

Lighting the Advent wreath during Nick's first penance.

Nick's first penance was beautiful.  He received many love letters of congratulation wishes.

Cookies galore in this house!

Yum!

Nick loving the jam filled butter cookies.  He was a big help.

A meticulous cookie maker!

Two of my favorite boys!

Nick was invited to a gingerbread house party at his new friend's house!  It was fun!

Working hard!
