2011 Christmas Day

We all felt like our biggest present was DADDY!

But we also enjoyed the presents from Santa and everyone else!

I love the faces that Stephen makes!

Sissy got a Kanani American Girl Doll from Santa!

The kids were thrilled with their gifts!

I love my kids!

Detto finally got a robe!

I love Stephen's poses! He cracks me up!

Sissy also got a My American Girl Doll!

It looks just like us!

Detto got some toys to!

I gave Abby her VERY FIRST BARBIE!!

She is soooo adorable!

And Jackson got lots of great toys, which he proceded to destroy in under 5 minutes!

So after that he decided to take a nap in his favorite spot. As soon as I went to take the picture he popped up!

Mongiovi Update 3 - Christmas

This Christmas was Great! Mostly because Detto was home!

It was also great to be surrounded by friends and family!

Detto played piano and Abby had to DANCE!!

We all sat and listened to Detto play and SANG ALONG!!

I loe watching the kids open presents!

Look at the smile on Reilly's face. I am glad that she liked the pillow creature that I made her.

Kirin

Reilly was modeling the hat that I made her.

Ishana liked her matching hat!

Sissy was thrilled to get a cookbook! She LOVES to cook!

I also made Kirin a hat!

And...

I made a quilt for Ishana!

And for Kirin!

And I made a "Southwestern Quilt" for Mom and Dad!

Here is the happy family! The only ones missing are John, Sam, & Anaia!

All of this fun wore Abby out! She is so cute!

Mongiovi Update

I can not believe that it has been over a month since my last post!

Well, I have a pretty good excuse....

My hubby came HOME!! After him being gone for 10 months I needed to spend some quality time with him! We have done soooooo much since he has been home!

I will spend the next few days catching up on what we have been up to!

It was a last minute thing! We found out that he would be home the day before he got here!

 We were waiting for the buses to arrive.

Everyone was sooooo anxious!

The Mayor showed up to take pictures!

And they are here....

It was soooo GREAT to see that smile!

I can not believe that he is actually HOME!!
