Palzas Like to Party!

 We Palzas love to party! Not to say that Feierbachs and Richters aren't great at it too! This year to make sure we get our fill we had a party at Franz and Carlyn's with the traditional Picana served and a Party on Christmas Day at Tio JG and Bellita's. Tia Ana made a wonderful Turkey Dinner. 




Kira loved playing with her cousins and Mara was so sweet. She played with Kira all night. They wrote a letter to Santa, played Possum, and watched a movie.


 Kira was missed a lot at the next party, but we managed to fill our time with out her. The 2nd Generation (I can't say kids cause we are not anymore) all played a game together, which was a first for our family but a lot of fun. Then Tia Ana brought gifts from Bolivia the entire family. We got some very nice hats as well as jewelry made in her store.

It was really nice to have so much family together for the holidays. It has been a while since we were all together.

Chinese Christmas



Sunday we went out for Chinese which is traditional at my house. Not sure how that happened but its yummy anyways. Kira got to wear a very cute dress to dinner.

Then we all headed back to my house for the last day of Christmas! We read two of my favorite books, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "A Christmas Dress for Ellen". Kira got some fun paper dolls which she immediately started playing with.

Cookies, Coloring and Santa Too!


 The Annual Christmas Carnival at All About Kids was also on the 20th! It was quite a busy night for Kira and I. As always she had such a great time! We are really going to miss all the ladies from there, as Kira is going to a new pre-school starting in January.

Kira decorated a cookie in her favorite color. "BLUE!"


 Made a Penguin!

 Decorated an Ornament with Teacher Becca!

 Got a Tatoo!
 and her face painted with a Rose!

And ofcourse had to see Santa one Last Time!

Dance, Dance, Dance!

 Kira had her first Dance Performance was on the 20th of December! She was a riot! While she didn't really dance she was definitely entertaining anyways. Plus I just love that cute little dance outfit on her!

Waiting with her class to get ready to Dance! Her Class performed 4 dances. "Suzy Snowflake", "Christmas Dance", "Toyland", and "We need a Little Christmas"










Getting her cute Necklace from her Teachers.

Thank You to her Teachers who are not only some of my Best Friends, but are such wonderful teachers for Kira!

A Night on the Polar Express!

 Kira loves Trains! So when we heard about going to a Reading of the Polar Express, we just had to go! She had so much fun! Unfortunately the Hot Chocolate Was really HOT, but listening to the story and eating our treats was fun enough!





 Later on everyone sang Christmas Carols!
