Christmas 2008

Finally some Christmas pictures!!!

We always celebrate Christmas Eve with our families. First we went to Edgar's cousin's home (Willie, Jessica & kids). This is where the "fun" started...I got SOOOOOOOOOO sick when we were there. His family started frying some traditional food from back home (morsilla, for you PRicans)...and the smell...............oh my goodness!!! It was terrible!! I felt so bad, physically and emotionally, because it was Crystina's first Christmas home and I couldn't do anything! I sat on the couch for 2 hours...with awful nausea, shaking, heart racing, you name it! Jessica's sister, Ruby, who is an EMT, watched over me and kept on insisting for me to go outside and get some fresh air BUT I couldn't get up, if I did, I would have fainted. That's how bad it was. I really wanted to see Crystina enjoying herself with all her cousins...fortunately she had fun!!! Then we were off to my parent's home. I felt a little better but the "damage had been done." I still wasn't feeling too great but I felt we had to go. Crystina, of course, still had fun with her cousins! She was up until 3:00AM!! Yes, 3 in the morning!!! The girl doesn't want to miss anything!

Then came Christmas morning...she was up at around 9 or so..........cranky!!! So we "bribed" her with Gerber puffs to open her gifts. It worked! ; ) It was so cute watching her open her gifts. She did so good!! She LOVES all her gifts!! She plays with one and then goes to another, then another...etc. As long as the toy makes noise, she loves it!! And we had bought her some Christmas pajamas for that morning BUT they are no where to be found! So, no cute pj's...just mix-matched clothes.

Christmas afternoon...Edgar's sister and family came by, as well as my parents. We had a very nice time! Then in the evening, we went to my brother, Nathan's, home and had a nice time there. Crystina, of course, had a blast...all day! She slept like a rock that night! Enjoy the pictures of Crystina's 1st Christmas!
