Rancho Cucamonga City Christmas Lights!!!1

i love taking manaia to see christmas lights every year if we can..Ray and I took her to see her first lights when she was 1yrs. old and that was at the city Irvine train park and she loved it. This year we went with my sister in law and her kids alyssa and jr. to the Alta Loma rancho city lights gotta say it was packed like if we were at Disneyland getting on its a small world..lol.. Though it was a long walk really enjoyed it and now manaia is older she recognizes things more and gets more excited. The lights were awesome every home was decorated beautiful had different theme like The Nightmare before Xmas, Hawaiian Xmas, Gingerbread house and many more.. What was neat is how the neighborhood had a COnsession Stand on every other HOme that sold HOt chocolate, brownies, cupcakes popcorn, Churro sticks, Coffee and fresh mistle toes.. all the money they raised wld be donated to the neighborhood security or other small charities which i thought was kool..manaia loved the rice krispies lol.. made her super hyper but thats manaia who loves food lol...Next One we might go to is The Candy Cane Lane in WEstwood heard that ones a good one too..

Brenda cooked all the food that was soo good and i made apple pie and pumpkin pie lol. everyone had a good time even his girlfiend nicky who came with him..So thankful for my brother who is out there serving for our country along with everyone else may the lord bless him through his travels and watch over him while he is away from home till then see you soon.

hello December

December is one of my favorite months out of the year becase i love the xmas music that they play on the radio and the holiday decoations and to remember the birth of our savior jesus christ. Every xmas eve is spend with my whole family so that xmas day we spend with our own individual family. We do gift exchange every year but this year we decided to cut back on the gift giving so that our children can understand the true meaning of christmas. so instead we will do stocking stuffers for the children so that everyone can be satisfied and not upset of who got a better gift. This will also be MANAIAS 4th christmas with us man how time flies but now she is getting older she gets excited with everything so i am excited to see her excited with unwrapping the gifts.lol i hope you all have a wonderful blessed december with your family..
