It Works!

Waking up is so hard to do:

Daddy sure has a good way to get you up and going, though...or better yet...down...? :)

Cameron and Moroni working on the garage door opener while Papi is with Abilehi at the DMV, signing over her car's title to her:

Playing in the back with Isis:

Back inside, coloring:

Progress:

Alegria found Almalia's shoes and put them on all by herself...so proud:

Awww! Sweet! :)

More progress:

Just relaxing:

Sporting Abilehi's hoodie:

Alegria: "You'll have to talk louder...I can't hear you through this hoodie!"

Alegria: "...GOOSE! You're it!"

Relaxing with Abuelita:

And finally, after a few not completely successful attempts, the garage door opener works!



I'm so excited that now I don't have to get out of the car to open and close the garage door! Woo-hoo!!! :) Great job, Cameron, Papi, and Moroni! :)

I then started on lunch while Alegria played with her Aunt Abilehi and Aunt Almalia:



Apparently, this is more fun than a rocking horse...oh, the places you'll go!

At lunch, Almalia put her ear muffs on Alegria:

Then it was time for Alegria to take a nap, but my family had to head back home, so she made the rounds and gave everyone goodbye kisses before heading off to dream land:

Goodbye, BerRioses! It was sure fun having you come play! Thanks for driving the 5 hours to come see us! We love you and hope you come again soon! :)

Later on in the evening, we had the Hawkins over for New Year's dinner. Andrea brought the main dish, Stroganoff, which Cameron had requested, and I made all the rest. We sure had a fun time eating, talking, and playing games...and then we watched The Ball drop in New York City via the tv. That was 11 pm our time...but it was late enough for us and that's how we rung in the New Year. :)

Good night, everyone! See you all in the New Year!!! :)
