Our Weekend

Yesterday was the last show of the 2008 instalment of the "Star of Wonder Celebration of Christmas" at Phoenix First. My daughter in law wanted us to go but neither mi chica nor I felt like going out at all so we handed the kids the keys to the van and sent them on their way. It was the last day they would be performing and of course it was packed. In fact it was so packed that they had to wait for the next show. I know for them it was worth the wait because Phoenix First puts out a great production.

In the meantime mi chica and I enjoyed a whole Sunday by ourselves without the noise of the kids and were able to watch Christmas movies all day long. I am sure by now most of you know that I am a serious Christmas movie watcher. lol

My daughter was supposed to turn our living room into a Christmas Wonderland since the day after Thanksgiving but apparently the lack of Christmas lights prevented her from doing so. Well, yesterday while they were out and in a matter of minutes mi chica finished what my daughter started. Every year she sets her dinning room table and it always looks wonderful.

My daughter had already hung the stockings and and put up decorations now the only thing that needs to be finished is the Christmas Tree. Yes, she now has lights and the tree should finally be lit by tonight. I wanted her to finish last night but my grandson had asked her to wait for him because he wanted to help her.

That is what Christmas is all about. Doing things together as a family. The presents are nice but the memories we can build together are better.

As always I will be posting some pictures of our little Winter Wonderland or in this case Winter Living room just as soon as the tree is up and lit.

A frind of mine forwarded this performace to me via an email and I liked it so much that now I will share it with all of you here on my blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
