Xmas Card

Alcatraz was not the place I imagined getting our Xmas card picture

Soccer Reunion

           We hosted a party at our house for all of the families that Jesse use to coach (2nd-5th grade).  It was so fun to see everyone again as the boys all go to different schools and play different sports now.  water polo, football, basketball baseball have taken priority.  11 families were able to make it

The parents all look the same, the boys did not!

Christmas

The cat was not in a Christmas mood, her stocking was empty

Merry Christmas All!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve started a little rough.  

I ended up at Kaiser getting an X-Ray of my Mallet Finger from making a bed.   I'll never do that again, the bed making part!

 Shane sprained his ankle so bad he can't run or walk normal

 Hailey had a 102 degree temp 

We rallied for Xmas Eve dinner and things progressively got better

 Hub got a pin that says,  I can't remember your name!

 The kids learned that Papu is a really good gift giver.  This is her as Jesse is opening her present to him.  She could hardly contain herself

                                 The present of the night, which is now hanging in our entryway.  Church made                                                                     them take that picture!

 

Theme of the night was underwear

 As soon as we started opening presents Hai got a boost of energy and felt great

We ended the night in tears, from laughing so hard

Xmas Cookies

We did some cookie decorating and Hailey surprised us all!

 See if you can find the cookie that won all 3 categories (Male Judge)- Most beautiful, Most Humorous, Original

The Great Gingerbread Contest

The Agonia's always host 8 families to the Great Gingerbread Contest.  No rules except we must all use the kit they provide.  Some families showed up with moving boxes full of stuff to decorate.

Jesse making it snow on our house, trying to win points from the judges.

 One member of the family had to present their house to the group.  Shane wearing his Yamika while explaining our Jewish House!  

 I decided to go with a little different theme, hoping to win the wild card vote.  Our roof was too heavy and fell apart so we went with the A Frame Look.

 We didn't win, but I don't think we will ever with this group, too many artists!  One family recreated Whoville, can't compete with that!

Cousin Jen

Papu always talks about how Hailey reminds her of my cousin Jen.  Seeing that she lives in France, this is the first time Hailey remembers meeting her.  

Celebrating 19 Years

A quick 24 hour getaway to Long Beach to celebrate 19 years of marriage

 The weather was insanely perfect, just like the day we got married

Our mode of transportation 

We went shopping and out to lunch in Belmont Shores and found lots of good deals

Jesse going to dinner with his new leather jacket on.  It was so fun riding in the streets at night on the electric scooters 

We always have a good time together, even after 19 years!
