 Making Cookies

Christmas was nice this year.  The boys had fun giving and getting this year.  Arrow was so funny- he was so intent on getting me tomato soup "Daddy like it, Tonio like it.  Mommy like it!"  He also got me my favorite tea with the tiger.  The boys bought Daddy hot sauces- all representing them- Arrow had a tiger on it, Miguel's was Mayan and Tonio's was sweet!  They played and we rode bikes down at Crissy Field.  We had dinner at the usual- Shanghai King of Dumplings and then watched Home Alone.  It was great.

The next day we went to LA for Michael's dinner.  It was a nice time and it was chaotic as normal with Arrow as the elf.  He helped Michael passed out all of the presents and he was pretty enthusiastic and I am not sure if Michael is use to the boy energy.

We also spent some time with Meme and Joe and it was very special.  They played piano with Meme and ran around.  At one point we sat with Meme and told stories for about 45 minutes.  It was funny because some of the stories were the ones I heard when I was a kid from my mom.  Miguel loved the stories and he said Meme is "goofy".  It was a special moment to share with both of them.  Then at one point Tonio was sitting in Joe's lap reading Garfield, which is what I did when I was little.  It was so nice.

Fall Ball

Miguel stared pitching and he did a great job.  It helps because he has to focus, as oppossed to being out in the field.  Tonio did a great job as first baseman.  Both happen to be on the Atlanta Braves with coaches named Andy.  Not the same team though. 

Halloween

Arrow- Just wanted to wear all things Minion.
Miguel- A mummy (to complete the trifecta of the last years: vampire, zombie and now mummy)
Tonio- Harry Potter

Arrow did not want Halloween to end.
