Christmas Eve at The Sandello's

Hi Davey,

This year was the off year when only a few of us get together for Christmas Eve.  The Leeberts' go to Utah and the Noriega's go to that side of the family.  That means it is both "Chavez" families, the Sandello's and Nana and Jake.  There is still alot of people when we all get together though.  It is nice to hear the little ones be excited that it is Christmas.  Here are some pictures from that evening.  Yes, Rae is in almost all of them!!

MISSING YOU...

CHRISTMAS EVE....

Making Gingerbread Houses

Here we are making gingerbread houses.  The family gets together and the kids.....big and small make gingerbread houses.  As I look around at them all having fun and making their houses, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to have you here and see you making one. What would you have made?  We had everything from a football field (Uncle Ted) to Snow Whites castle (Danielle of course).  I know that wasn't your "thing", but I still can dream, right?  You may have decided to come so that you could see Raegan in action!!  I think she ate more candy than she decorated with.  Even though you are not here with us physically, everytime we all get together, I feel you are there.  I miss you every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year.......and love you beyond words.  Mom

Christmas Decorating 2012

Here we are again, decorating for you.  This year it was freezing cold and raining.  That didn't stop us though!!  Every year we get more and more stuff.  We have a truck now and still we had to make two trips!!  Oh and you should see the garage......All for you Davey, all for you.
