My little sister is here for a couple of months! Yes, MONTHS! Every time I say that, people widen their eyes and say: "wow!! MONTHS! How does Mike feel about that?" Maybe it's a cultural thing?? Who knows! You see, for us Peruvians (or maybe it's just my family), family is never a burden; the more the merrier. And there are never bounderies...we talk about everything. And when Mike and I want time for ourselves we simply leave or Nylene leaves. I really don't see what the big deal is. I love that Mike gets along with her so well. He calls her "his little sister" and is very protective of her. As for me...I'm loving it! We are having so much fun! We took her to get our first Christmas tree! She kept smelling the trees as if that was the determinating factor to pick one. We decorated it on a Monday night, we had Christmas music in the background and then, of course, Peruvian Christmas music that made me want to dance. Mike always laughs and says that no matter what the festivity is, our music is always meant to make you dance. I love being all Christmassy! I love Christmas time, mainly because it's Christ birthday! but also because you can feel His spirit on the earth.
Nylene and I saying HI! What A great blessing to have her with us!
los tres hermanos! faltan dos mas
Christmas tree day!!! Nylene smelling the tree.
Our tree!
Last August when Mike and I were in Peru we went to shop for some Peruvian crafts at a local craft market. We, I should say "I", were looking at some jewerly and were talking with the sales lady. We told her we had just gotten married and she gave us this Peruvian Nativity Scene inside a Chullo (typical Peruvian hat). It is one of our most favorite wedding gifts and we love it!!! It was our first Christmas tree ornament and means a lot to us.
