Santa Claus is Coming to Town

He never lets us down. Every year he makes a special visit to Avenue C and stops in front of our house to pick up lists and hear exactly what 3 little girls are wishing for this Christmas. Thankfully we all made it on the NICE list!

Girls Night

One last time before year's end we gathered together at our regular spot in HB. All I can say is LOVE LOVE LOVE getting together with my friends!

Awards Assembly

Once again, Josette is exceptional in her performance at school. We conferenced with her teacher last week only to get a stunning report. I am writing this not to brag but to point out and document her wonderful accomplishments. Her teacher, Mrs. Millinder, said "Josette is perfect, I wish I had 20 of her in my class". She is not the first teacher to say that and each time we hear it as parents, it melts our hearts. She is sensitive, kind, thoughtful, a deep thinker and has wisdom beyond her years. My hopes for her in the future are to continue her academic success and continue to set a wonderful example to her sisters as well as others. Good job beautiful GIRL!

Carrie's Graduation

Congratulations to Carrie Fragoso Maltes! She earned her degree at Cal State San Bernadino and will soon be teaching in the classroom. We are so proud of her accomplishments and celebrated at her house with a beautiful Grad Party! The cousins were all together playing, eating tacos and cupcakes while the men gathered to watch the UFC fight . So many of Carrie's friends showed up to show their love and support and we couldn't be happier for her!!!

American Girl Tea

The Palos Verdes Library hosted a tea party in honor of American Girl. Josette and Gigi brought their dolls and learned about the history of all the American Girl Dolls. They are dying to get one of their own. Josette's favorite is Josephina, Gigi's is Felicity. We enjoyed cookies and lemonade and made new friends with Clara and her daughter Olivia.

Look at this CUTE little guy...

He lights up our lives!

Date Night

Once in a while the girls get a special date with Dad to go out for dinner and ice cream. Lucky Jessie!
