Thanksgiving!!

We had our friends over for Thanksgiving and for some it was the first time experiencing a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Elisa came early to help with the preparations and we had such a great time. We truly are grateful for all that God has given us!!

Group picture before blessing the food- L to R back row- Elisa, David, Raúl, Trinity, Isaac, Nacho, Cristina, Nadine, and us in the front row.

The awesome spread included - roasted Turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, pecan pie and pumpkin pie! Mmmmm good!

Poor César had a fever and wasn't feeling quite himself at times.

Las mujeres!!!! The women!!!

Los hombres!!!!

We played all kinds of Spanish games and really laughed a lot! It was so fun this year.

We will do it again next year!!! They loved the food!!!

Game day

We got a flyer from my school advertizing that there was going to be a children's activity time in a plaza near our house put on by the NGO "Save the Children". Papa took us and we had a great time playing games and getting candy for prizes! Mom stayed at home because she was sick that day with fever- she missed out!

David enjoys putting the Baby Bjorn on like mommy

My "camel" I made and we took a trip to the desert and slept in a tent. It was a grand adventure!

Tummy time with me!

Pretty Lady

Thank you, Kristy (WeDawg) for the adorable homemade hat. We love it!

Yeah, I am cute!

I had to take Trini to the market and show Charro her outfit she gave her. This is the most Trini has been dressed up. She was dead asleep when we arrived.

David enjoyed the new car there.

When Daddy came home for lunch I had to take his picture with his sweet girl.

Later I took the outfit off...because it is only for going out in and put on one from Aunt Kimberly! It says, "My daddy thinks I'm sweeter than sugar."

Nov 19

Our cutie pie smiling more and more these days. She even started making sweet cooing noises!

We were goofing off before dinner last night and thought I would get some of the kids together.

Levi showing off his food and thinking it is sooooo funny.

Look Who's Smilin'

Big eyes like big brother and blue eyes like David.

She is showing her personality! I guess that is what she thinks about all of these pictures I take her! Ha!

Gingerbread Men

We got the joy of decorating some gingerbread men thanks to my sweet friend Nadine. She supplied the cookies and we decorated them. Levi enjoyed it...David was taking a nap when we decided to do it. He woke up later and got to eat his cookie!

Mine is the one on the left and David is on the right because he still wears diapers!

Papa (shirtless) and mommy in a speckled dress. Haha!

Reformation Day

What we did on Reformation Day was celebrate my friend Joao's 7th birthday in a play land. We had a great time including David. Afterwards we went to his house and enjoyed dinner together and gave some trick or treaters some candy.

David was enjoying the grub!
