2009 LEGO City Advent Calendar
This Christmas we are going to do a 2009 LEGO City Advent Calendar. Mason has started to like Legos and thought this would be a fun way to teach him about Christmas.
Will post a photo daily.
Well the post daily didn’t happen, because life happens but here is the completed set!
Mason LOVED this way of working up to Christmas! Thanks to all who enjoyed playing along with us. Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays from Imelda
We had a great Christmas at home with my family and Chris visiting from CA. We then went to Austin for a few days to see Dan, Margaret and baby Hannah.
We got a Wii but I haven’t even used it yet. Matt’s already got an elbow injury tho :D

Sick again
I am sick again.. Got sick Christmas evening. Started out with a headache and just got worse and worse. When I finally went to sleep at about midnight, I was coughing and sneezing. Then I woke up with the most terrible chills! I thought I was sleeping in a freezer. I got up and put on flannel pjs and grabbed my big heavy Mexican blanket and tried to go back to sleep. With the exception of laying on the couch for a bit, I didn’t get out of bed until 4pm the next afternoon.
Matt, Mason and Danielle were all sick too but don’t think as bad as I was.
I hope we are all better soon! I hope one one else got sick on Christmas.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Everyone!
If you are visiting my website for the first time because you found the url on our Christmas Card, welcome!
I wanted to write something cute and clever, but just haven’t thought of anything yet.
A few updates: I changed jobs after almost 10 years at AIM/INVESCO/AMVESCAP (so many name changes). It was just time for me to move on. I am now working for big oil, Chevron in downtown Houston. The first time I walked into the old Enron building, I got a bit freaked out.
I have really got more into digital photography and got my first DSLR Camera in May, in time for Mason’s 2nd birthday.
Mason and Danielle are both doing great! Mason is talking soo much, making very long descriptive sentences and using his hands to communicate. Its too cute. He is a typical 2 year old boy who loves cars, trucks, balls, Diego, and animals. He doesn’t care for Elmo anymore so that is kind of a relief.
Danielle is in the 10th grade at the new Dawson High School. She is taking a photography class now and I think has really improved these last few months. She still is entertaining the idea of a career in fashion and is doing research into colleges now. Danielle has been doing a lot of babysitting and is great with kids. She has also begun bugging us about drivers ed and that really scares Matt and I!
Matt’s back is finally back to normal! After many years of on and off pain, mostly on, he had back surgery in early October. Pictures you ask, of course!
Please check back regularly for family updates, cool things I have discovered and of course new photos!
We miss so many of our friends and family that are not close by and wish you a great holiday season and happy new year!
Please leave a comment, to let me know you stopped by. :)
My beautiful kiddos on Christmas 2005
Danielle and Mason had a nice quiet Christmas at home for the first time. First time because we usually travel to see family and this time we stayed home. It was also Mason’s First Christmas ever so we really wanted to be home for this.
