Thanksgiving - So much to be thankful for

Thanksgiving is here! There might have only been three adults and three kids but I made sure everyone got the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We had a 14 lb turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, french bread, stuffing, gravy and two pies - boysenberry and pumpkin! The food was great and we took time to celebrate many of the things we are thankful for: healthy children, wonderful families, an amazing au pair, great house, good health and our Lord and Savior! We are so blessed!

Lais' First American Birthday

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy 1st American Birthday Dear Lais,
Happy Birthday to you!!

Lais had a great American birthday this year. She got to pick her desserts which ended up being a cheesecake and carrot cake. We took her to a Brazilian restaurant in ABQ for lunch and Harry Potter's new movie that evening. It was a great day to celebrate our awesome au pair, Lais! Happy Birthday!

Mommy's 31st Birthday

My birthday was a wonderful day filled with many adventures. We had a family photo shoot downtown on the Plaza, went trick or treating in the mall with the kids and went to a Halloween party that night. My Mom was also in town so my special day was even more special.
