December 20th-28th
The Pictures are in Order somewhat . The Main Point is that we had a great trip and lots of fun celebrating with our family. We are grateful for this wonderful gift of being able to travel to Texas to celebrate with our loved ones The birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
On our way home we stopped to play in the wonderful snow of Flagstaff Arizona.
Asha Ready for the Snow ball fight!
Bryce getting ready too!
At Road Kill Cafe (Arizona)
On the way home we stopped at this wonderful Cafe for BreakfastLocated on Route 66,
It is very famous place and the food was delicious. Bryce was particularly happy since the menu featured dishes starring characters from the movie "Cars"
Getting up and ready to continue our Journey to Texas.

Our pajama bandidos! getting ready for some bed time stories. Each one wanted a different story and song so I ended up telling 5 stories and 5 songs :) It was a long night!

In Lubbock, We went to this Christmas Ornament store. It has become a tradition in the Perez Family to go to this beautiful store full of thousands of Christmas ornaments every year to start the holiday season and invite the spirit of Christmas. It was so wonderful and the kids had a great time looking at all of the beautiful ornaments.
I found these cool Christmas Caroler ornaments. 
I really needed a Christmas with my Mom. I had Missed it for 5 years.

GUATEMALAN TAMALES
Christmas wouldn't be the same without our delicious Guatemalan Tamales.
Prepared with Masa and pork or chicken, covered with a recado, a sauce made with Chiles, Tomatoes, pumpkin and sesame seeds and other spices and wrapped and cooked in a banana leaf for a wonderful and unique flavor.
A tradition in all Guatemalan families and certainly in ours.
This year was particularly special since I had the opportunity to make them with my mom.

The hardest thing was saying good bye. Asha had the hardest time saying good bye to her dear mama Mimi. She couldn't stop sobbing.
My mom gave her a confort jar full with beads (Asha's favorite!) so she could hold it close to her heart and not feel so sad on the way home.
