One more holiday come and gone. Why, why does time go so fast? Just last week I was stressing out about cooking for so many people. It was Tuesday, and had yet to go to the grocery store. So typical of me, save everything for the last minute. I am sure that most who know me, are not surprised by this fact. You still love me....right? Thankfully, this year I had all my family at this blessed holiday. My mom, my two sisters and their families. It's times like this, that I realize just how small my immediate family is. Even though it has been 11 years, I still can't help but miss my "papi". It was always an interesting holiday with him. He really enjoyed Thanksgiving. It saddens me that he never really met Kassie and Nachito. Nachito, however, is just like him in so many ways. I can't quite comprehend it. Just this weekend I kept finding plates with the crust of pumpkin pie, no filling, just the crust sitting there waiting to be thrown away. This was something that my dad did all the time. He loved the filling, but not the crust. As does Nachito. My mom was so happy to for the first time, in a long time, to have us all together. She requested a photo, and we after much thought, granted it. I hate pictures of myself. It's that dang baby weight that I can't seem to get rid of. OOps, nevermind, he is nine : 0 I have no excuse.

Buddy was also lucky enough to have his family with him on this holiday. It was nice to have both families in one house, and even better, we all get along. The cousins did some bonding, and the little munchkins of the family dominated the conversations. Three little princess's and one little prince. Thank you Alyssa, Gaby, Alessandra, and Devon for keeping us entertained all night. We had some extras as well. Mr. and Mrs. Warga, my sister-in-law Wendy's parents. They moved here from Florida a few years ago, and they have happily attended our crazy holiday reunions. They are family now. Also, Jose and Johanna co-workers of Fernie who have gladly attended our Thanksgiving dinners for a few years now. Their family lives far away and we thank them for allowing us to be a surragate family to them.

I think the food was good, I hope the food was good. Henry the ??? oh, I can't keep track anymore was delish. (Henry is our nickname for our Turkey every year) And thank you all for the extras that were brought. And Wendy.....thank you for going to Marie Calendars, I'm sorry that I am so OCD. Thank you all for coming to our humble home for a great family reunion, hopefully you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed having you. Please, next year again??? We would love it. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Love Always,
Me
oh, and by the way....Air Hockey table still in living room, hopefully by Christmas? Huh Buddy?

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Flashback Friday

This Friday, I am participating in two links. My first is with Alicia over at More Than Words . There are only two weeks to go for TDA's Summer Recital. This year it will be held at Higley Performing Arts on June 20 at 7:00. Kassie will be in aproximately 14 dances so far. Might change though. Hopefully it will change to less. : ) Recital is in full swing right now. Every day, you see kids walking out with their costumes. It is so cute. I especially love seeing the little two and three year olds. They are always so excited. This is a picture of Kai in her 2nd Recital with TDA. It was her first year taking more than two classes. I think she was in five or six recital numbers. It was her first official ballet dance. She had never taken a full ballet class. She since has learned to love it. This picture was taken in 2005 making her only nine years old. How fast time goes..... June 2005
