It's What Christmas should be about....being with family!

Chambers Family Christmas 2010

So it is New Years Eve and the family sat together for breakfast and took a look back at the events of 2010.  First off, we started with finding out that I was pregnant with our third and last child.  In the spring, McKayla had her First Communion, by Summer a long awaited vacation was needed before the arrival of Chambers #3.  We went to California to visit family and oh what a time we had.  It was the kids first time at a beach, Disneyland, Sea World, etc. Little did we know that five days after we arrived back home we would have a child.  Avery was born 10 weeks early due to the placenta abrupting.  Avery was in the NICU at St. Mary's in Rochester, MN for 2 months.  That was a test for the Chambers family.  She was able to come home on September 16, 2010. No sooner did we come home found that two new additions to the Rosales Clan came about.  Twins...who knew it was on my mother's side of the family.  We all were able to welcom Jasmine Jade and Kherington Samantha born on September 26...2 days after Avery's original due date. In October, I had to go back to work, but Halloween was in the near future.  We were visited by Grandma Connie who took the kids Trick-or-Treating.  Unfortunately, Avery got sick for her first Halloween and had to go to the ER.  She had an acute upper respitory infection along with double ear infection.  By November, Turkey Day came and gone as we had to be away from our families due to weather and precautions since it was RSV season.  December came a scare when we had to go back to Rochester as Avery needed surgery for a hernia.  They had to remove her right ovary, but she recovered well and will be able to have children someday.  Christmas came in a flash and our house is full of toys...again.  So now that it is the end of a year, we wish all of our friends and family a Happy New Year and hope that the coming year is a good one!

This is the scene of a crime....3 babies all in one household throwing a fit.  The two at the ends look as if they are not, but trust me they did!  We had surround sound!  From the left is Avery, Jasmine, and Kherington!

Jasmine and Kherington during one of their naps...very peaceful looking! Don't be fooled, they have lungs of steel!

Christmas morning!  They look so innocent don't they?  Actually we told them to stay in the room until we knew that Santa had came ;)

If anyone knows the Rosales family tradition, it is customary for the children to receive a monkey...literally!  Shawn, bless his heart, went out of his way to give the best present to his new nieces.  Let's play Where's Waldo, only you are suppose to look for two monkeys.  Can you find them? 

So here is Jasmine and Avery modeling thier "First Christmas" Sleepers.  Kherington had one as well, but she decided to spit up on it earlier in the morning.  We were able to wash it and take pics of all three girls.  Look at my daughter.  She knows how to show off by winking at the camera.

Don't know if they were excited about me taking a ton of pictures of them!

Christmas with Grandma Connie!

Our family got to spend the night at a hotel suite courtesy of Grandma Connie and Grampa Gary.  The children were able to see the presents that Santa left at Grandma and Grandpa's house and open up more presents from her grandparents. The room was very spacious and the kids had a grand ole time...how is this possible....

...because who can say that they had a heart shaped hot tub in their room on Christmas Day!

Someday he will appreciate this picture.  Caleb decided to throw a fit and hide in places so we could not find him.  Granted he really had no place to go since we were in a hotel room...he was try to convince us that he wanted to go into the hot tub...right now!

In the end we would like to thank all of our friends and family for their love and support and wish you a Happy New Year!
