Ward Christmas Party!

Our family at our ward Christmas party, and yes Santa is you know who. Brock is such a smart little cookie that he relised it was his dad by the ring on his finger. What four year old notices such a thing?
That is one tall Santa, don't ask me how he got roped into doing this for the second year in a row.

Zander getting ready for the primary program part of the party, what a cute little burro!


Of course I can't forget my king. Brock picked this costume right off, he loved being the rey for the program.



Graduation!

The 15 of December Brock graduated from preschool and is now moving on to his big boy school, collegio, in March. The Nido, preschool, that they both go to had a real graduation with cap and gown and the whole nine yards. It was very cute and I have to admitt made me a little emotional that Brock is not my baby anymore.
Brock and his teacher Miss Lilliana. He actually had her for two years straight so it was sad to say goodbye, but then again Z is still there so I will still see all our favorite people for some time to come.

Brock walking the line, he is so handsome!


Holiday Season!

It has turned into a yearly tradition here that I bake a ton of sweets to give as gifts to all our friends here in Peru. It is not a common thing here to have someone make baked goods so the people here think it is amazing. I made lemon bars, no bake cookies, rice krispy treats, magic cookie bars, zucchini bread, and mint chocolate brownies. The best part of it all is that I bake and someone else cleans up the mess, yahooo!
Loved this picture of Zander after a birthday party a couple weeks ago. He thinks it is so fun to get his face painted.
One thing that I really love about living here is the fact that I can take my boys to the theatre for next to nothing, less then the movies in the states. They have about a dozen of different theatres in our area that always have some childrens production going all throughout the year. We went and saw one of the boys favorites, Chimoc the Navidad version. Here is Z shaking hands with one of the characters after the show.
My lil men after thier holiday show at school. We are so proud of them and all they have accomplished this year.
Zander's class had a Christmas party at one of his classmates house, and even Santa came. I have never lived anywhere where they love Santa as much as they do here. We went to over a dozen activities where Santa was there. He even roamed the isles of our local grocery store everyday. Man that Santa is amazing! Here is Z with some buds from class, Santi and Christina.
