Little Flutterbugs

We had a fun filled Christmas Break this year. We did so many activities and visited with so many loved ones. We started of by making homemade ornaments. The girls enjoyed kneading the dough and using cookie cutters. We then decorated the ornaments with paint and glitter.

Messy Indeed! 

Gabby kept saying the ornaments looked “delicious”… “I can just eat them mama”. 

The girls also were busy with holiday activities. We went over to our neighbor’s house for brunch one morning. What fun they had with the kids in their neighborhood. We also went to the holiday party at Cecil Field. Though, we didn’t stay long; Gabby was able to get her face painted. 

Jacksonville had lots going on for the kids in Downtown. We hung out with our friends the Davis Family. It was a really cold Saturday morning and we decide to hang out at our favorite downtown spot, the library. 

We finally took off for Miami, but had to make a quick stop to celebrate my nephew Aidan’s 5th birthday at Fuddruckers. 

Where Gabby tried her first vanilla shake. 

And where this little one couldn’t get enough of her abuelo.

More Christmas Memories with the arrival of the girls’ Tio Juan from London. 

Tio Juan happily played ball, hide and go seek, endured the torture of Dora and Diego cartoons and played some tunes for the girls. 

Gabby was smitten by her Tio Juan. 

We have definitely started a new tradition among the Sierra/ Rodriguez cousins. Noche Buena the kids enjoyed running around my in-laws backyard wearing their reindeer hats. Gabby and I spent the morning making them. 

And while it rained, it didn’t stop the reindeer games. 

After all the clowning and running around. The girls settled in for the evening in their Christmas PJs; which conincidently were reindeer pajamas this year.
