Christmas is my husband's favorite season and thus has become a big deal in the Garcia house! This year my boys started attending Sunday School and learned about "Jesus' Birthday" and the meaning of the Christmas season. It was delight to hear my sons repeat the stories they learned in Sunday School and all the more amazing that every time they see the Nativity Scene, they can tell the story, through a 4-year old's point of view of course!

The season is always filled with lots of fun, friends, and family! Here are a few of the highlights of the past month:
Every year we visit local Christmas light displays around San Diego. Our favorites are
Christmas Card Lane in Rancho Penasquitos,
Candy Cane Lane in Poway, and
Belardo Lights in Tierrasanta!

If you know me, I love to bake so I had my boys help me bake some goodies to share at our family holiday parties. We made short bread, lemon, raspberry white chocolate, and chocolate chip cookies. We also made mini cherry-calamansi pies shaped like stars!
My crafty Garcia Bros. are always up for the challenge of creating something handmade! I'm trying to raise creative men who will one day "wow" and "awe" a deserving lady!
