We thank you for taking the time to visit our blog.

My husband and I are a young, growing, Christian, military family. My husband is a Captain in The United States Marine Corps. I am a former Elementary school teacher. We are first time parents to a beautiful little two year old boy, with twin boys on the way! I am a stay at home Marine wife, who loves to bake, cook, sew and craft! I enjoy being a Domestic Engineer. The purpose of this blog is to document the story of our life and adventures as they take place.


We are honored to be serving our country and ask for prayer in our upcoming adventures. We have been blessed tremendously, and thank God everyday for all he has given us!

Christmas Eve, Tamales & Santa

Merry Christmas Dear Friends!!!
We spent our Christmas Eve making Tamales! I am quite a mixture of different ethnicity's, a cultural mutt if you will! Haha German, Mexican, Irish, Italian, French, Scottish and more! I am Mexican on my Mother's side of the family. As a child, I can remember making Tamales on Christmas Eve with my sweet Grandpa Robert ( my Mother's Father). Rich an I want to carry that Tradition on and so we did!

Robert's Job was to put in the olive. Well, we let him put it in one Tamale! :)


 
My Dad's experiment Tamale wrapped in a Banana leaf!



A finished product! A happy Robbie and a happy Grandpa!!

Then, it was time for Robert to leave out the cookies that we baked for Santa!
