Ventura Familia

Christmas was awesome this year!! (Awesome other than a little mishap on Christmas Eve) Lauren was so much fun with the presents and loved seeing Christmas lights and decorations! She even learned how to sing a little of Rudolph and Jingle Bells
We went to a Christmas party at the Portuguese club and she had a blast!! She painted a mug, ate tons of junk, and got to see Santa!! All the other kids were sitting patiently as he walked in the room but not Lauren….when she saw him, she ran right up to him and said hi!! It was so funny! And when it was her turn, she sat on his lap!! I couldn’t believe it! Must have been because he gave her a present!
We were supposed to go to Tommy and Tanya’s for the annual Heal Christmas Eve party but unfortunately, Lauren woke up that morning sick My poor baby was throwing up all day on Christmas Eve. There’s nothing worse than seeing your child sick and not being able to do anything about it. I still don’t really know what happened….she never had a fever. I don’t think it was something she ate because she threw up so many times and if it was a stomach bug, no one else in the house got it. She’s never thrown up from teething before but a molar did break through her gums a few days later, though I don’t think that’s the reason either. Who knows! She threw up for the last time at 1pm and was feeling much much better soon after, thank goodness!!
The next morning we woke up and Santa had come!! Lauren must have been a very good girl this year because Santa brought a lot of presents! Her most favorite was her big gift, a kitchen set! She loves to pretend she’s cooking!! Then of course we got the big news!!! It’s a BOY!! Mike, Jenny and kids and Danny, Veronica and kids came over for breakfast with us and Connie and Joe and to exchange gifts around 11 then it was time for a nap! After that, Grammy and Pop, Julie, Eric and kids and Tommy, Tanya and kids came over for presents and my birthday celebration! Connie cooked us a delicious turkey and ham with all the fixings! I’m so blessed to have her as a mother in law
It really was a great holiday and it’s not even over yet! Tonight we are going to the New Year’s Eve party at the Portuguese club and next weekend we’re heading to Greg and Michelle’s for the annual Pimental Christmas get together! Should be tons of fun and I’m sure I’ll post more pictures from both events!
Happy Holidays!!!
