Christmas part 2

We left Christmas day at 5 pm to head to SLC. The weather was actually really great. 

We go there at 7 pm and Julio and Jeanette were there! Then Martin and Erica arrived! It was a fun quick mini party. 

We opened presents and hung out. The next day we went to Costco to return some stuff while tyson was at the the iPhone store getting a new screen. Then Saturday night we had a family dinner at Churck O Rama. 

The next day we had breakfast and took Tyson to the airport so he could go back to work. 

We got home and took naps and took showers. Then Jael came over and we headed to the girls first movie! We saw "The Good Dinosaur". The movie itself was cute enough but Sydney got scared at some parts and the seats were all taken so they had to sit on our laps. It was a cool experience but I probably won't take them to another one soon. It's easier to stay at home and watch movies.

We got back and played some more but i was SO tired that everyone left at 9 pm.

After a horrible night sleep with London coughing all night and Sydney craying, I had a conference call at 7 am and 730 am. It was a rough morning. Mom and Fredy were off to clean homes so I am on my own. I got the girls ready and at 10 am we met Jael at the Aquarium. Jael took the kids around while I worked in the lobby.

Sydney got lost for about 15 minutes and learned a valuable lesson. 

After we went to Niesha and Aaron's new beautiful home and we spent FIVE hours there. We had lunch and the kids just played and played. I love Niesha and Aaron! We also got to see Eric Mike from institute council. 

I got back to my parents house right at 6 pm and put the girls down. They were down at 6:30 after a big day. 

I immediately started to get ready for the trip back to Colorado the next day. I did laudry, packed, cleaned the house. bought snacks and got the van ready with Fredy. 

We were on the road the next day at 6:30 AM. We took it really easy and relaxing. We stopped three times for potty and for lunch. Fredy and I took turns driving and the girls were in good spirits most of the trip. 

In Colorado we kept things chill. We went to Ikea, Costco, the mall. We watch 4 different movies, we packed up some of the house. My mom helped me wash everything and prepare things in time for the move. 

The girls really connected with my parents. Specially Sydney. She kept saying " I miss Abuelita". 

A really cool night was the night before they left. I got the idea to draw out the two houses I remember from Nicaragua and this led to a two hour long stories about my childhood and how my mom escaped my dad and how we grew up .... it was fascinating. It's amazing what my mom went through. 

My mom got us some new plates for the new house. It was such a fun visit. I can't wait to see them again in the summer!
