There is a whole bunch of neighborhoods that do up their houses like CRAZY. It's not just a few houses, ALL the houses do it. There are SOO many cars driving the neighborhoods, people walking the streets and people selling Hot Chocolate to make a little Christmas money. It was amazing!!
For Christmas eve it's our tradition to go to Victor's moms house to spend eve with them. Lupe makes tamales that night as well. Alana loves to get in on the action with helping! She did better this year than the last few. She will be a pro in no time.
Later that night when we finally made it home we had just enough time to set out the milk and cookies for Santa.
Then off to bed Alana went and Santa came.
Every year my mom "Santa" would fill our stockings and lay them by our bigger presents so I continue that with Alana.
It was 7:30 am and since we had gotten home late, Alana was still sleeping so we had to go wake her up. Out she ran to see what Santa brought her.
She loved everything in her stocking.
Her favorite was her new big girl bike!
We immediatly tossed on some warm clothes and took her outside to ride it! We didn't fix the training wheels and make them straight so the first time she tried to ride it she feel flat on her face. Poor girl. Her words to me "I never want to ride this bike again". Haha. Later in the day she became a pro and every day since then she's loved it!!
We spent Christmas eve at home, after our long day in LA. I taught Alana how to play Go-fish because she got it in her stocking and she now loves the game. She plays it at least once a day. As well as Old Maid.
We celebrated New Years Eve at New Yorks midnight so we could get Alana off to sleep! She loved yelling Happy New Year!
