Zoë and the Juno Monster

Zoë finally got to get her little chubby hands and fingers all over the Juno Monster. She was really excited and it was really cute as she kept wiggling her fingers around her fur. Juno Monster was even very patient and docile. Even during the worst part, when Zoë totally pulled her hair! LOL. Juno just cowered and gave in to silly Zoë.

Reading Time With Baby

I love reading this girl books because I want her to love reading books as much as I do. She definitely seems very interested in books. So freaking cute!

Christmas with the Homies

Celebrating Christmas with the homies today. Everyone decided on Umaya Ramen. I ordered me a bowl of ramen while Jeric ordered himself a platter of 3 sliders.


Part way through dinner, Zoe started getting hungry, so I had to leave the group to go feed her in the car. Jeric ended up boxing up our food to go since by the time I was done feeding her, everyone was pretty much done eating.

We headed over to Mike and Joan's to hang out and give the kiddos their gifts. There was also a slew of desserts to munch on. It was really nice having all the kiddos together.

Goodness has our group really grown!

Christmas in the Desert

For Christmas this year, we're celebrating over in Palm Desert, at Auntie Oma's place.

When we got there, we were greeted by hugs and kisses and then were taken over to the side room where a bunch of Christmas sweaters were spread out. We each got to pick one and had to wear them for the party and pictures.

Here's all of us in our cute Christmas sweaters!

We all hung around and had delicious food!

Zoë got really cute Stuart Weitzman shoes from Auntie Oma!

For a fun activity, a cookie decorating contest was held.


Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas Sweetie!!

Going to make this our family tradition. Presents early morning!

Got him the Roots of Fight sweaters that he totally wanted!

Now it's Mommy's turn.

Gahhh! They got me a frame with Zoë's foot print and hand print and her baby picture! BEST EVER!

Merry Christmas darling Zoë!

Christmas Eve at Brian & Ivon's

We spent Christmas Eve with the Mostajo fam bam and it was held over at Brian and Ivon's house.

Zoë's outfit of the day...


Time to open presents!





After a wonderful time with everyone, Zoë was pooped!

Christmas Celebration With Nina Krystal, Uncle Ray and Presto

Krystal, Ray and Presto came by today to celebrate Christmas with us early since we all wont see each other until well after Christmas.

Love their wrapping paper!

Presto even held baby Zozo for a bit.

As a gag gift, we wrapped up an avocado for Krystal to open too. Haha. It's because of this viral video of a kid's reaction when he opened a gift of an avocado. LOL!

Christmas Work Gift Haul 2015

Check out my gift haul from work for Christmas this year!

Bunch of snack goodies for me to devour!

Annual Holiday Potluck

We have our annual holiday potluck today! I decided to bring eggrolls, which will probably be the only time. I need a cheaper alternative.

There was tons and tons of food too!

Portos Empanadas

Cheesy Potato Dish

Cream of Corn Dish

Decorative Cake

Mint Chocolate Brownie Bites

Banana Bread and Pound Cakes

Cupcakes

Portos Cheese Rolls

Noodle Dishes, Fried Rice and Spring Rolls

Those were just some of the many dishes that people brought in. With so much to choose from, I couldn't have just 1 plate. There's just no way!

Zoë's 4 Month Checkup

Time for another check-up for baby Zoë. It also comes with another round of shots. Ugh. Mommy and Daddy aren't looking forward to you screaming your teeny little lungs out.

Daddy was even way more nervous than Mommy. So much so, that Zoë had to console him.

It's okay Daddy...


What a sweetie pie!

Annual Christmas Exchange

We had our Christmas Exchange at work today. Kevin ordered some pizzas and cookies for everyone that joined in on the fun! Sadly, only about 20 - 30 people joined and our department is like 500 deep. Boo people, boo!

The person who got me got a bunch of cute stuff. Some art stuff, a blank wooden frame and blank box and some paint and bushes. A cute Christmas onesie was also thrown in there for Zoe!

Farmer's Market at Work

MemorialCare had their first sanctioned Farmer's Market. A bunch of folks showed up and checked out all the goodies. They offered plenty of samples at every vendor.

Look at all these beautiful oranges! I did try a sample of them and they tasted pretty sweet.

They had a vendor for nuts, which also had some organic fruit juice.

And a vendor that provided delicious tasting spreads and pita bread as an accompaniment.

I tried a bunch of everything, but didn't buy a single item. Some vendors were cash only and some goods were just way too over priced. Still, it was fun to try all the samples!
