#1 Helper for Christmas Cookies



 Merry Christmas and joyful thoughts too,

from the Serrano family to all of you!

May your days be merry, your nights be bright

and you catch a glimpse of Santa in flight.

And that we remember the singular reason

we have in our world this wonderful season

that the Lord Jesus came to set us all free



so that we may have new blessed life heavenly!

See you next year!







Christmas Spirit

Hello all!
It has been a long year. A fabulous year. A challenging year. All in all I am ready for 2011!

Today is Jason's birthday - he is now officially a "terrible two-year old"! We have already started saying around the house that "T" is for "troublemaker" or "travieso" (depending on who is saying it ;) )
But one thing is still certain, he is the most awesome kid imaginable. He loves his Montessori school. He loves to learn and sing and dance....and work! Seriously, if you try to take his broom from him it does not go well!

My birthday was last week and went relatively well too. I enjoyed taking the day off and having a "me" day of just whatever I wanted to do.

And now the Christmas season is in full swing and we have our lights hung and our christmas tree up. Christmas feels different to me now than before - partially because I am a mom and partially because I have traveled a great personal journey with my faith this year. I am so thankful for the wonderful life that I have and just wanted to tell all of you that I am thankful to you for being a part of it.

Merry Christmas to everyone and may the spirit of the season remain in your heart all year long!

XOXO,
Natasha

Baby Jason's first Christmas season

We had a whirlwind holiday season, with lots of family in town and everyone eager to spend some time with the newest family member. Steph and Mom did an amazing job helping me and Alberto to get our bearings, and this week was actually the first time that we were on our own since the baby's birth.

Jason did wonderfully all throughout the holiday season, and was quite handsome on Christmas day in his Christmas onesie. It says (in Spanish) "Who needs Santa when I have Grandma". One big milestone we also passed on Christmas Day is that Jason lost his umbilical cord! He has a very cute innie belly button now :)

I have posted some pics below to share a few of the special moments we had:

Our first bath!

Sleepytime - I can't resist taking pictures of our sleeping boy!
