Merry Christmas from the Quintana Clan

Merry Christmas

It was a very different Christmas tradition this year, not spending it with the usual family members. However, it was one of the best Christmas's for us to have yet. As many of you know, Felicia and her boyfriend came home from College at Pocatello, which, in itself is a great Christmas present.

With those two being home, it was no vacation, along with Felan, we wipped out our traditional home-made tamales which turned out absolutely amazing! It was a fun week of prepping with the Mendiola Family also coming over for a game/hang out night.

Christmas Eve was great having the whole family under the same ruff, along with the Matteo Family and a surprise visit from Lorraine in the morning.

We all opened our first gift of Christmas midnight Christmas Eve/Christmas Morning. Everyone enjoyed their gifts, and continued opening presents at 6 a.m. The whole family was more than happy with their gifts and were happy with the all together family being together. After opening gifts Mike Jr. read the annual Christmas Stories, reading "The Boy and the Fireman" and "Angel on a Doorstep," that all members of the family seemed to enjoy.

For the rest of the day we have been kicking back in the living room watching movies, and playing the Wii.. (and of course eating too!)

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and encourage you to read the Christmas Stories we read this morning for a great lesson on being thankful, being humble and swallowing your pride to help another.

May God Bless You Today, This Holiday Season, and all other days of the year!

Love,
The Quintana Family
