Thanksgiving Fun

This Thanksgiving we enjoyed a wonderful feast prepared by Grandma Kathy and Great Grandma Sib. We later got to visit the Deang/Bacani side of the family for dessert. It was a special day with our wonderful family.

This was the first year that Carina and her cousin Emma got to try out real Thanksgiving food. Carina loved her turkey and mashed potatoes and Emma was a fan of the yams. We had a wonderful dinner and great time with family and friends. We are so thankful for being blessed with such amazing family and friends.

First Snow

Today we woke up to a beautiful blanket of white covering our rooftops and streets. We were so excited for Carina to experience her first snow. She absolutely loved it! She loved playing ball with Cali in the snow and learning how to make snow angels.
We were officially snowed in for a few days, just long enough to have some fun.

Fall in Sayulita, Mexico

After a busy few years of school, starting a family and changing careers, we finally scheduled a vacation to relax. One of mine and Robbie's favorite places to vacation is a small surfer town north of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico called Sayulita. It is the perfect place to relax.

We got to enjoy our first big trip as a family, Carina's first big plane ride (she is officially international) and even got to celebrate my birthday. It was a wonderful trip and we cannot wait to get back! Here are a handful of the pictures from the trip.
