The day after the auction, the family got together for a happy celebration. Thankfully, it was BEAUTIFUL weather and we were able to play outside :) Hopefully everyone had fun!

Fausnaut

For donut day, Magnee, Abuela, Alex and I made donuts. Alex was on a sugar high until his nap and Magnee and Abuela fought over the color of the bread balls.... A great family experience :)

Happy 47th!

On Friday the 13th, we celebrated my Uncle D's 47thn birthday at Magnee and Pap's. We had a delicious lunch and then cake. Alex REALLY enjoyed the cake :)

January to date...

New Year's Eve was BUSY! We started off fairly quiet in the morning and then Becky W. and Jessie D. joined us for lunch. It was a great time to chat and just hang out. Alex did really well and even sat at the table with us and ate. However, around 2ish (before nap time), Alex used his potty by himself but did not put his pants back on. He did don his fireman hat and ran around the kitchen screaming FIRE, FIRE, FIRE. This really impressed Jessie; especially, when he hid under the table as I came at him with his pants. Thankfully, I was able to get him dressed and Abuela came home to put him down for a nap.

Then, in the evening, we went to Uncle Steve and Aunt Laurie's house and then the Mosser house. Both places, Alex was accosted by dogs and at the Mosser house, climbed into a dog cage to be safe ;)

On New Year's Day, I cashed in my "family event" card for the month and we all went to Magnee and Pap's to watch the Rose Bowl. The outcome wasn't what we wanted but the food was good and the company well....wasn't too happy :)

After that...it has been a quiet and relaxing weekend. However, January seems to be filling up with events :)

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, the Donaldsons came up for a dinner. We started off with talking and Rock Band and then hit the meal. After the meal and Jesus's Birthday cake, we opened presents. Alex, again, made off like a bandit. From Aunt Laurie and Uncle Steve, Alex received a Hungry Catepillar doll, book, and quilt.

Happy Birthday, Pappy

Also on October 11th, there was a picnic at my Aunt Laurie and Uncle Steve's for my grandfather's birthday. It was a nice but cool evening with lots of fun around the fire and with family.

Fairfield Visit

June 27th to July 2nd, Alex and I spent the time at Abuelos while Daddy was busy with his BarBri classes. The time was spent interviewing, visiting family and friends, riding tractors, and driving his trike. Alex and I had enjoyed ourselves!

Donaldson Party

On Friday evening, all the Donaldson's got together for pizza and to celebrate Alex's birthday. Alex quickly warmed up to everyone and enjoyed his pizza and chips. He also enjoyed sharing and playing with his new presents.
