Evening Bike Ride

We spent pretty much all Christmas day inside, and the kids were itching to get out.  So Lina rode her new bike and the boys got a free wagon ride.

Ryan wants to teach at Lina's school. :)

Christmas Morning

The calm before the storm. ;)

Santa left the kids a thank you letter on the Christmas tree (he loved the milk and cookies).

Stocking time!!

Never seen a kid so excited!  He loves his Hot Wheels!

Waiting patiently for dada to get his dump truck out of the box!

This girl loves Playdoh!

Super excited about his tool bench from his Nana Janet and Grandpa Randy.

Isandro taking little bro on a ride on Benicio's new truck.

Nana and Grandpa got Lina a marker making kit, so she was watching a YouTube video about how to set the whole thing up.

Benicio and Ryan

Aleyda was pretty excited about her Burt's Bees!

Checking out her new wheels!

Our First Visitors!

Our good friends, Aleyda and Ryan, are teachers in Istanbul, Turkey, which is only about a two hour flight to Tel Aviv.  They came to visit us over Christmas.  We took them to an amazing Mexican restaurant and explored Tel Aviv Beach.

Look at all that leg room you have, Ryan!  And nice hat! ;)

The view above the kitchen.

Reminds us of the movie Nacho Libre.

We knew walking in and seeing this packed place that it was legit!

My beach babe all day, every day.

Monkey status!

I think this guy's favorite thing in life has to be running around exploring new places.  When it was time to put him back in the stroller and move on, he was not a happy camper!
