On Christmas day the Valencia family gathered at Armando's moms house for their annual festivities. The day consisted of a lot of amazing food, great company, a visit from Santa, a gift exchange & a dozen or more toddlers all sugared up and running wild. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

I tried to get Sadie (my favorite 3 year old niece) to come home with me...I even promised her her own room & pizza every night. She still went home with her own mom though.
Rafa, me and Esperanza
My niece Marticella with her soon to be husband Amador and their baby Emmanuel
I voted Sadie as 'best dressed'

I tried my best to prepare Esperanza for Santa's visit this year. She grasped the whole relationship between Santa and the presents and seemed really excited to see him and sit on his lap. Right up until the moment came. Esperanza was terrified of Santa again this year. So we just accepted his gifts and opened them on the stairs.
And there's Sadie...who looks the least bit afraid of Santa
Santa even brought me a gift!
WAY too much candy
The woman who brought us all together...Armando's mom Angelina with Santa
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. See you next year!

How do you remember everyone's names?! Geeez, there are a lot of people in Mando's family! Still have to say again...I love your hair! You look a lot like Mary in that last picture.
