Thanksgiving

This year has been hard for many people in the world, although it has been a little hard for my family I am grateful that we have not gone without. We are truly lucky to have everything we need and more. Above all we remain a united family that love each other and would do absolutely anything for each other. This year we go back to basics and thank the Lord for our family.

Dia de los Muertos 2011

In an effort to teach Yorek our customs & traditions we took him to the Mexican American Cultural Center (MACC) on Saturday. We saw some beautiful altars and painted our faces. Unfortunately we did not make an altar of our own, but at least we got to show him what they looked like. Hopefully when he gets older he will appreciate his culture as much as his father & I do.

Holloween 2011

Arrrrghhhh...... this year we decided that Dante would be a pirate. We had a fun time with Daisey and Abby at Dolores Catholic Community Center and then went to my parent's home. Yorek was so fascinated with the Candy Walk (like the cake walk) at the community center. Abby looked so darling in her bee costume and they both chowed down on some hot dogs that Abby's grandfather graciously bought. All in all, it was like the good old times with Daisey, except that we were running ferociously after kids!!! We had sooooo much fun!!!!
