25 Anniversario

Anoche celebramos la fiesta de mi Tio Vidal y Tia Lupe. Cumplieron 25 anos de casados. (sorry Nelly, back to english :) ). Here are some pics from the anniversary party.

Los Novios - during their grand entrance with the mariachi.
Lita and Alex - Alex was just talking about how he never has pictures with anyone,
so I made him pose:)
A fam pic of our immediate family (those of us that made it) with my tio and tia.
Tyler (or Tee-ler as tio vidal calls him) and my mom
My tio and lita singing
...and again - they enjoy singing so they went out twice to join the mariachi
Lita - the first on the dance floor - as we watched her dancing, we realized where I get my dancing itch from;)
the happy couple again

Tia Mari, Tia Amparo, my mom and Lita

...and us :) we haven't been getting many pics together when we're out and about, so we're trying to take more ;)
one of the co-hosts, Ms Caty with her man :) What a great job you and Erica did! I bet your parents are proud - thanks for letting us be a part of it.


What a fun night! And a great milestone. They had a romantic moment when they first came in, tio vidal sang a song to my tia that talks about still loving her so much after all the years, and the kids growing up - I think that's one of the most romantic things a man can do! Sing to their woman :) Congrats on 25 years - we'll be looking forward to the celebration of your 50th in 25 more ;)

Thanksgiving Day

We started off our morning by visiting my dad for a bit, then driving around to every newsstand to try to find the Black Friday ads :)

We had a Thanksgiving lunch with the Aguirre/Alvarez clan over at my sister Diane's house.
My niece Paige that I haven't seen in a very long time!!

And my lovely grandma :)

The kids table :)
My mom and Paige

Then we headed over to Unlce Mike & Aunt Kim's for a dinner gathering with the Boyd/Burton families

Aunts Kim & Kaye - looks like they're secretly chatting or commenting on something...hhhhmmm....

Grandma Boyd sitting back

Grandma Burton enjoying the luxurious massage chair -that thing is amazing!

Jared & Jessica looking through some of their pics

After a long day of eating and hanging out, we ended the night playing a little farkle :)
What a nice Thanksgiving it was - so nice to see some family that we hadn't seen in a while. Hope you all had a great thanksgiving as well!
