Merry Christmas!

This year I was lucky enough to have my sister Luiza and her friend Carol coming to visit all the way from Brazil as well as my sister Carolina and her dog Julie, who came from New Mexico. Poor Dustin had to share the house with 4 VERY loud-crazy Brazilian girls and 2 female dogs! We had a good time cooking up some yummy food and celebrated Christmas Brazilian style, where we wait until midnight on Christmas eve to open up the presents. 

I think I was the one who got the most presents this year so that made me happy! :) I got: a brand new dining table (from Luiza and her friend Carol), a spice rack, Hoover's hard floor cleaner and a very nice perfume all from Dustin. I also got a gift card from Carolina, a purse and shoes from my mom, earrings from Luiza and her friend, and some other things from some dear friends! 

Carolina's dog, Julie, is Bella's half sister and Bella is half her size. This was Julie's Santa's outfit on Bella, it looked so cute, but extra large!!!!

This is my beautiful sister Luiza with Bella and Bella's stocking! I had two little stockings for the dogs and they were full of treats. They were very excited!!! Luiza had just finished cooking when she took this picture, she did not have any makeup on and will kill me when she sees I put this picture up.

This is Luiza and Carol (her friend) posing with Bella. It was so much fun having them here! We all had a very good time and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
