Our Christmas Weekend!







The Portillo Family on Christmas Morning! We all had a great time spending time together and playing around!










Jackson getting what he wants! Gabi is opening her presents with the help of Daddy!





























Gabi reads her book, Thank You Prayer.








Jack got a "Wild Mike" from the movie "Barnyard" and he loved it!













Ari playing with the tree and ribbons on the boxes.


















Ari wears a hat that Grandma Motorna made for her.











We left for El Paso on Christmas Day afternoon. We drove for about 5 hours and stopped at a hotel in Lubbuck, Texas. Of course, the kids got to enjoy a little bit of time in the pool!











Gabi says, "I'm ready!"




Doesn't she look cute in her bikini?
Buba and Gabi play together in the pool!











Ari enjoys splashing


















Frank enjoys watching the girls as they play in the water!















Gabi cuddles with her glow worm that she received from Deneise Knight for her birthday. This was while we were driving from Lubbuck to El Paso.




We were so excited to see the Texas Line!














Happy 4th Anniversary Frank and Nikki Lynn! Frank took us to an Italian resturant, Bella Nepolie. It was nice. We were the only ones there and we really got to spend some quality time together, of course, with the kids too!


















Our waitress was so great. She told us that she would take a picture of us together so that we could remember this day!












On the way home from El Paso, Frank wanted to stop at this great casino in Ruidoso, New Mexico. It was called "Mountain of the Gods". WOW! What a beautiful place! Wish we could have stayed there. Of course, Mommy couldn't help but take some great pictures of the views, inside and out, of the beautiful hotel and casino. And yes, Frank won alittle, enough to pay for our hotel and meal for that day.












It was really cold. It had snowed that day there and the snow was laying all over the ground!



Gabi was sitting by the fireplace to get warm, so Mommy decided to take a picture of her with the local artwork.





Look at that snow covered mountain in the background? This was out of the back of the casino. The whole wall was glass!
