The Lil' Man is ONE today!!

Happy Birthday Cade!  Uncle Matt and Auntie Jenny love you so much and have loved watching you grow!  You are a precious gift from the Lord and we thank Him for your sweet life often.

The boy definitely enjoyed his birthday cake!

THANKFUL

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving and have so much to be thankful for.  We started with Thanksgiving dinner with the Cooper family.  My mom pulled out all the stops as usual and it was a delicious meal.  Complete with the traditional tri-tip for yours truly. 

We then headed out to Santa Fe, New Mexico to join the Poladian family for a little fun New Mexico style.  An added bonus was breakfast with the fabulous Duncan family.  

We missed Louie - but apparently he has already been to NM!

We took a cooking class to learn traditional New Mexican Cuisine.  

Want to know the hint? Just add peppers!

If you want to know what Santa Fe looks like - here it is. A lot of buildings just like this one.  Look closely..we are perched on the roof!!

and now the Christmas season begins!!!
