Another Month Gone By...

So another month went by without a Lopez update.... sad. A lot happened in December, so here is a recap of everything that went down.



First, we had Caleb's birthday. He turned 8 years old on the 9th and we celebrated by going to Itz, a Chuck-E-Cheese type place with better food and games. Caleb got some new clothes from Uncle Jim and Aunt Jan and Nana Sue and Papa Gus, money for Itz games from Grammy and Papa Ed, a skateboard and helmet from Grandma Connie and Richard, and Mario Galaxy for the Wii from Mom and Dad. We had a really great time. Below are some pictures of that happy event!





After Caleb's birthday, Christmas came pretty quickly. We had such a blessed Christmas this year! We started out by going to the Christmas Eve service at Calvary Santa Fe for some amazing worship and the gospel message. Afterwards, we went to The Lopez House and ate some tamales, pasole, queso dip, and lots of sweet goodies! We opened presents and had a fun time hanging out.
Next we went to The Rivera House and spent the night. We woke up on Christmas Day to more fun of opening presents! I was so excited to spend time with Gram and Pap (my grandparents)! It had been such a long time since we last saw them. Christmas Day was really relaxing, we spent the whole day in pajamas, resting and playing with a new toy here and there. My mom and Gram made a delicious dinner of ham, mashed potatoes, veggies, applesause, and salad. It was really good.
We finally came home to see more gifts outside our door!! Grandma Connie and Richard left the kids gifts of toys and clothes! It was awesome!!
Thank you to everyone who blessed us with so many gifts! The kids loved everything and Issac and I were able to get snowboards this year with the money we got!! Woo hoo!!
For New Years Eve we went to my parents house to see Gram one last time before she went back to Texas. We played a little Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii (yes, we own this game and it's amazing!), ate some Dion's pizza, and then headed out to the Scozz House to bring in the New Year.
Overall, we had an amazing holiday season! I am so thankful that Jesus was born to die for my sins so that I can be reconciled to God. Without a Savior, I'd be apart from God and on my way to hell. God is so Awesome to send His Son for us! My prayer is that all of our family would have a personal relationship with God and trust in Jesus as their Savior. Love you guys!
