The Rios Family, Grandma and Grandpa Riffe, The Leonard Family, after our Christmas Eve service at Faith Baptist Church, Wesley Chapel, Florida.
One of my favorites of my boys! Taken after church service Christmas Eve. (Josh & Shane)
I told my dad to look dreamily into my mom's eyes. They both got tickled! So much for the romance!
Three Lovely Leonard Daughters and Two Handsome Rios Sons!
After service, The Leonards and Riffes came home with us for a Mexican Feast! Here is Amber helping Agustin finish up the chicken enchiladas in "salsa verde"! The apron Amber is wearing was given to Agustin by some of his employees years ago. Notice the chili peppers all over it! Amber loved this apron so much, that Agustin gave it to her! Talk about *re-gifting*!
A mean game of UNO broke out in the living room!
The two youngest had to entertain themselves as the night wore on! (Alex and Shane)
Following the Mexican tradition, after a late meal and the company left, we began opening our gifts! It was around 2:00 AM!
Not the best family photo, but it was around 2:00 AM remember!
Agustin tried on his new silk pajamas I gave him. As he was about to turn the covers down and finally fall into bed for the night, our son, Josh, started a wrestling match! It is now around 3:00 AM!It was a wonderful night, but I think it would have been even more wonderful if my sis and her whole crew could have been with us. Oh well, maybe this year!
