Christmas 2008

These are just a couple of pictures to describe Christmas. Due to lack of money and a new addition to the family, Christmas couldn't have been any better. Family from out of town came and that made it memorable. We were able to spend the holidays with both sides of the family so everyone got to see the new addition and we got to visit with family. Besides Alexander being the best gift ever, the rocking chair fell next in line. I wouldn't get out of the chair, that's how comfortable it was and is. What a nice way to close out the year by sharing it with family, friends and being grateful for the year of 2008.

Better late than never!

On Jan. 4, 2009 our precious baby boy Alexander was given a blessing by his father. What a precious moment. Although this is late, it's still better late than never! The spirit was so strong that day and Heavenly Father was definitely with Jose as he gave him a sweet blessing. Overcome with tears and unable to understand all of the blessing it was filled with love. He was given a blessing to stay strong in the gospel and one day serve a mission and find someone to marry in the Temple. With ALexander being a little fussy before the blessing, the angles were with him during the blessing to be calm then after the blessing it was back to fussiness. Thank you to all our family and friends who were in the circle. ONe thing is for sure, he's surrounded by lots of love. Thank you Jose for holding the priesthood and Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us this sweet little baby. WE love you Alexander.
