November 25, 2021
This year we were lucky to have all of the kids with us plus the Dave & Shel family. Before we left to go down there to AZ, TT and his friends celebrated too.


B and I got the turkey in the oven and Lelu and the boys went and hiked Camelback. It was a very hot day for November. We have much to be grateful for!












We have this adorable little farm down the street from us with mini horses, mini donkey, mini cow, alpacas, goats, sheep, and a pig. We love to go down there and feed the animals carrots
