Christmas!

I was pretty bad about taking pictures at Christmas, which is a shame because it was such a great one! We went to Rafael's parents house on Christmas Eve. Rafael's sister, Ana, was visiting from Texas. It was great to see her! We had Georgina's Tamales (the BEST Tamales EVER!), and some yummy bolio's with beans, chorizo and melted cheese. I brought some spinach dip and bread...which was a big hit. We opened presents and were able to tell the family about the baby on the way. I found a cute pewter frame with little baby booties on it and put a note inside that said "To Abue and Papa, Save this frame for our first picture together. I can't wait to meet you! Love, Baby July". It was a fun way to spread the news. I also told Sheila and Mom that night, and told the entire Galloway family on Christmas day. Rafael got me a sweet gift to open on Christmas Eve... "To Mommy, From Baby July". It was the Beatles lullaby piano collection. Very sweet :) The kids came over on Christmas morning and after they had opened their gifts, Rafael told them he had given me an early present. They asked what it was and he said, "A CD of lullabies". Stacie looks right at me, totally serious, "You having trouble sleeping??" haha! That girl is a crack up. We told them "No, you're going to have a new brother or sister this year!" Stacie and Zack are thrilled. Stacie said, "Pam, you're going to be a mommy!!" Zack tells me he wants to take time off work when the baby is born. Anything to get time of work! But also very sweet of him.

Here are the few pictures that I did take...
Zack, Ana and Stacie
Stacie opened her new iHome. Yay! No more blasting your iPod on your headphones!!

Zack loves his NFL Football encyclopedia - he has been memorizing statistics since Christmas.

Cute smile... she had just opened her italian bracelet and charms...
