It's a start

Its the last day of November and things will only get busier. We had a full month with our 25th anniversary spent in Vegas, Karena and Jake and the boys visiting from Phoenix, and Thanksgiving with Danny and Lola visiting from LA. Germancito comes in and out of town on his days off so we always have someone extra in the house. German and I had fun in Las Vegas. We stayed at the Wynn and walked the strip late into the night. It was fun to have dinner and a show. Karena and Ty flew in to stay with Cadee while we were gone. Cadee had her 50th anniversary celebration for her school while we were gone. I made her a groovy costume for the parade and Germancito, Karena, and Rebeca took pictures for me. Jake and Drew flew in the same night we got back and we had the whole group together again. We got everyone together for a quick picture before Germacito had to head off to work. German had his 47th birthday on November 24th and he got his annual pecan pie to start off the weeklong feast. German's brother Danny and his wife Lola, along with her two cousins, came into town on Wednesday as I finished baking lots of pies. We had an early Thanksgiving lunch so that Germancito could get to work by 6:00 pm in Lordsburg, NM. Everyone will be back in school tomorrow. Andy is at EPCC and will be putting in his papers for his mission in the spring. Sam is in his junior year at Eastwood High School. Cadee is in the second grade at Scotsdale Elementary. I guess I had better get the Christmas decorations out and get them up early. I cant believe it has been almost a year since we moved here. I threw a tree together last year on the 24th so Cadee would feel like it was Christmas right in the middle of our move. Time flies!
