Bronchitis, croup and respiratory distress with a fever were not on our Christmas list! But, despite three sick people and me still on bed rest, we had a nice Christmas. Lauren had great fun playing with her Christmas gift all day long (Be on the watch for a fun video by Dave about that!). We opened fabulous presents from family and friends (more on that later too!). Carmen’s breathing settled down and she had a comfortable day. We had a wonderful German Christmas dinner from some very special friends. We had one more Christmas to make memories with Carmen.
Dave took these pictures. I love them.

Thanks to Del and Cristina for the delicious Peruvian dinner. Thank you to Roxana for the Christmas Eve El Salvadorean pupusa dinner. Thank you to Eric and Claudia for the German Christmas dinner. With all the sickness going on around here, having food ready to eat in the fridge has been a huge help! Thank you.
This is a precious treasure! Thank you for sharing it! You are both beautiful!!!
What beautiful pictures! I can see just how much Lauren looks like Lana in these pictures. I hadn’t really noticed it before seeeing these pictures but she is looks exactly like Lana. Hope everyone is feeling better today!!!
oops..excuse the typo in my last post….my brain works much faster than my fingers…….
I mostly see the resemblance between Lauren and me in our facial expressions. But, yes, others have commented that Lauren looks like me.
You should see my younger (19 year old) brother! He looks exactly like me. Seriously, when I see pictures of him, I can’t believe it.
