Nico is 5 months old

Nico had a great Christmas too. Not only did he get gifts but he also got a first taste of solids! We started him on rice cereal. He absolutely loved it. And when he turned 5 months old, he got a snowman cupcake that his two brothers so willingly ate after the pics were taken.

Baby Santa Claus

I couldn't resist...I bought a Santa outfit for Nico. He looked so cute in it. It fit him perfectly. Here's some pics taken with the grandparents.

The three boys..

Before I even knew what our third child was going to be, I already bought two sets of matching sweaters. (Maybe deep down I knew I was having another boy). So here they are in their matching sweaters. My sister feels bad for them...that I doll them up and make them look alike. I don't think they need help in that category. Often times, I'm asked if Nate and Noah are twins. Clearly, one looks older than the other but maybe not.

Santa comes to visit

The kids were so excited about Santa coming to the house. They made brownies for Santa because mommy suggested it was Santa's favorite. It was suppose to rain so Nathan was a little worried about Santa having the reindeers on the roof. So at 7am on Christmas morning, I woke up all the kids and told them Santa had came. They were beyond excited. Half awake, they ran into the living room to open their presents. It was priceless to see their faces as they got exactly what they asked for!

Annual Xmas Party

Every year we get together with our college friends and their kids for a Christmas party. We eat a lot. The kids decorate a cake...it ends up with a ton of sprinkles on it and we actually let them eat a part of it. The adults do a white elephant exchange. This year Erdy and I scored on 4 tickets to the movies! Santa visits and gives out early xmas gifts. Then we went to someone's house in Emerald Hills to ride a train the goes around his house. It was pretty cool. And can you believe it...santa had time to go to that house too?!

Bethlehem

Every year we take the kids to see the reenactment of Bethlehem. Besides seeing the play, the kids' favorite part is being able to come close to the animals. Here are some pics of the two kids. We didn't bring Nico because it was too cold = (.

Nate's Christmas Program

Nathan's preschool class sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Jingle Bells at their school's Christmas program. They were too cute. The entire class had a "red" nose. I was a proud Mama as I heard Nate sing his heart out. There were 8 family members there to watch Nate's two minutes of fame. We were all proud!

Random pics...

We spent the day in San Francisco at Union Square. Here are some pics in front of the huge Christmas tree.

My dad...post surgery

Here are pics of my dad two weeks after his surgery. He was able to walk all over Union Square without a problem. What a miracle!

Nico is four months old!

Here are his cupcakes from Whole Foods. They were super yummy!

Finally here are some pics!

Nico all decked out in his first Christmas outfit.

Noah hates to take pictures. I can't capture his real smile.

Nathan is such a natural in front of the camera.
