Favorite Foto Friday- HO HO HO

I decided to do FFF from now on! And today's theme is a visit to Santa Claus... I dont have babies yet but I have some good old pictures to share.

Bayohan back then:

He is the cute little boy on Santa's lap ;) the girl is Fonsy (Gabby's mom) and the boy standing up is her brother (both are Bayo's cousins).

Bayohan now:

Not a real Santa, but I doubt that Bayo would sit on his lap if it was the real deal :p

Now go check other FFF .

Christmas Tour of our House

Well, room actually!!! we live together with another couple –my best friend that happens to be Bayo’s cousin- so we usually don’t decorate the house for Christmas, but I’m a Xmas maniac and love to decorate our room –that is like our small house!!!

So Welcome!!!!

First lets open the door so you can take a look inside…

This is the tiniest little stocking ever.


I hang four different Christmas tree balls on our doorknob; I love the snowmen in the blue one ;)


My mom gave me this cute little village house/bakery that you can put a candle in it, notice the fire on the door.


I love how you can see the light thru’ the stars on the roof.

We even have a Christmas tree in our room.
It is decorated with blue glittery balls this year.
We have three different “nativity scenes” they represent the Christmas we’ve spend together after we got married and we add a different one each year.


This is our first one, we celebrated our first Xmas together 23 days after we got married, how special is that!!! This says: Christmas 2006, “our first Christmas together”


This one is from last year. It says: Christmas 2007, Bayo & Vane


And this year we got this one, it is called “The escape”, I love the baby Jesus in this one. You can read: Christmas 2008, “Duran-De La Maza”

I hope you liked Christmas in our house… I mean room!!!


Come back for some great holiday recipes in the next few days…

Funny Babies!!

Take 2 cute little kids and mix them up and you get some quite funny looking babies...

This is Bayohan when he was little.

This is me (Vanessa).

I was a real cutey!!

Here is the boy:

And the girl is here:I think the girl is cute and looks like me :p Bayo thinks they are both scary looking, LOL!!!

We will have to wait and see what the real deal looks like ;)

I Know, I Know...

Bayohan is probably going to kill me for this, but I HAD to do this!!!
Get a good laugh out of it, I know I did :p

Two Years Together

Today is our second year anniversary (the year of the cotton), I have spend the last two years married to one of the most wonderful man on earth –I know we all say the same about our hubbies or boyfriends- but to me he is, we have gone thru’ a lot in the last two years: crappy only to survive jobs, studying for the United State Medical License Examination and we still keep on going, sigh!!

A lot of tears but also a lot of smiles and happy unforgettable moments… I can’t say it enough: there is no one I rather go thru’ all of this but YOU –Bayohán.
I love you with all my heart and I will never let go…

The little angels in this pic were the souvenirs –favors- of our wedding.

You are probably wondering what this picture is… Well, is something Bayo and I did on our honeymoon.

At the hotel we were staying they had this stand where you could do some pottery painting. We picked this small jewelry thing and painted it ourselves; we really treasure this little thing.

All of the colors where carefully though of and everything in it has a meaning, it is something inexpensive that reminds me of our love…

We use it to put my engagement ring and our weeding rings.

Happy two year anniversary for Bayo and Me :D!

2 Years Ago...
