Thanksgiving in New Mexico

This year we went to New Mexico to spend it with Grams, Paul, Leah and their sweet families. The girls were more excited for this trip than any other! Grams (Peggy) made the most perfect turkey, it was a great trip and I loved thinking of all the things I am thankful for, it turns out, I am super blessed!

a few pics from before the trip
This one of Olea with her cute indian hat on she made at school.

My little man thinks he needs to stand and pretend he is taking a shower in the bath tub.

Bella stayed up till 11:30 waiting for her daddy to get back from his week long trip to San Fran.

I woke up to these two sipping on eggnog with my pink tea cups sitting by the fire.

A rainbow that made me stop and realize how blessed I am!

On the road To New Mexico. Miles was so fascinated with these huge windmills.

The lineup; A Christmas story, Tangled, Scooby Doo, Barbie's perfect Christmas.

They got the giggles

So happy to see Chloe, Ellie, and Grams!

My cute little Nephew, Crew.

Playing in the sand for the first time. We spent the afternoon at the park, the weather was perfect!

Things you see only in New Mexico


Auntie Katie made these cute Mustache suckers for the girls.

Uncle Paul was SO nice to take our family photos on thanksgiving day! he took us on an awesome adventure!
Olea just had to wear those dang glasses, so we just let her.



This is the only picture I got of Kayl and Miles together. Ben is pulling them around on this huge stuffed bear.

Snuggles with Grams.

Ben took us on an adventure to Fat Man's Misery.



The girls got to see Santa at the mall.

Time to go home. Grams sent her love wit all the sweet cozy's for the kids.

We,ve had snotty noses up in here since the leaves began to fall.


Olea's new face, fish lips every-time she sees a camera, or her Thema glasses.

Parents were invited to come to Bella's music class at school.

The girls latest school projects. This isn't even half of them!

Since its been cold, the girls love to play dress-up games on the computer.

My daughter Thelma, or Velma as she says. She wears these glasses all day long, even to bed sometimes.

We took a family outing to Temple Square. It was the first snow fall of the season. The girls loved the city
and especially the statue of Christ in the visitors center. Love that Bella has her baby doll.




Followed by going to "The peanut place" Texas Roadhouse.

Late night sugar high.

Olea likes to change her clothes 24 times a day, this ensemble was kinda cute.

Snuggles. Waiting to pick up Bella from school.

Bella had decorated a whole wall in the play room with all these love quotes like "love is all you need" and
"I give you all my love" and "I'll love you forever". This was my favorite.

Love fall to bring out my vintage boots.

Olea loves to watch Scooby Doo! and she loves to wear her Thelma glasses!


This boy loves to climb and throw everything!

Here he is being a trooper while mom dashes around town getting shopping done.

Some fun Christmas things I found this year.

My favorite is this little church advent calendar I found at DI for 3 bucks!

Date night started out on the freeway where the car broke down and we had to call a tow.
At least we were able to make out in the cab of the tow truck.

We had a lunch date the next day.

I sicker than a dog with the flu and wanted to die! Mom's should be able to have a double of themselves
when they get sick! here I am laying on the floor next to the fire.

Bella isn't too keen on doing her homework! she likes to doodle all over her pages.

These two are buddies. I love thier little relationship!

Me and my sillies.

Was going through some old photos and found this one. Look how little they were with their cute puffy cheeks.
Wish I could freeze time!

Ben's TV show (Knights of Mayhem) aired on Tuesday, Nov. 15th. It was so fun to see is name up there!
He never ceases to Amaze me!
