Blake's Ice Skating Date

On December 12th Suyzel and I made a lunch and Ice Skating date for the kiddos! Blake and Suyzel's daughter Isela are the best of friends and with the hussle and bussle of the holiday season Suyzel and I decided to stop and get the kids together for a play date! So we met up for Lunch on a Saturday at Old Chicago and then took the kids Ice Skating at the Pond in Southlands! The kids had a great time, and Suyzel and I had a blast laughing at them as they tried to ice skate... Isela was much more graceful than Blake but both had a wonderful time...and they are excited to get together again soon!!!

Friends Forever

This past weekend we got together with our best friends and did our annual group photos...here's what we came up with!!

I am Thankful for.............

One of the many things I love about Thanksgiving is the reminder of the many blessings I have to be thankful for! I have been blessed with an amazing husband... not a day goes by that I dont thank my lucky stars for giving me a wonderful partner and soul mate to take this long and crazy journey with...I can't imagine going through life with out him along side me. As if having a great man by my side wasn't enough, I've also been blessed with 2 of the most beautiful children...they have no idea how much they mean to me and how complete they have made my life...I can't even begin to explain how much I cherish them...from their little temper tantrums, to their goofy traits and their loving nurturing personalities, I love it all to the moon and back! I'm thankful to have been blessed with honest to goodness family/friends, I know that I can always count on them, and they will always be there for me!

We were fortunate this year to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with both of our families...Ryan and I just don't have the heart to split the holiday with our families so we run all around town but it's really worth it to us to be with our families, which we are so thankful for. We started our celebration at his Grandparents house. We arrived around Noon and had delicious turkey with a few of the fixings...we had to save room for 2 other turkey dinners. After spending an hour there we headed over to his parents house and celebrated the day with the rest of his family minus one of his brothers & his family. This year it was particularly more fun than past years, because Ryan and I brought Rockband and insisted on his dad, Brother and sister in law playing..we had a blast laughing at each other! Our evening ended at my Sisters house where my entire immediate family got together along with my sisters Husband's entire family and we had a lovely Thanksgiving feast over there. The day was eventful and full of all of Blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
