Can't Wait for Thanksgiving!

Is it Thanksgiving yet? We are so excited for everyone to come and celebrate with us! And for those that have other plans, it is not too late to book your tickets. Everyone is welcome and we have enough room for all to throw back some pie and turkey Texas style!

Andreas Turns 2

Andreas turned 2 on October 28. He has been growing so fast and learning so much that we forget he has not been 2 already! He knows his alphabet and loves to point out letters and numbers. He even can count the number of stairs! However, he also is starting those great two-year-old tantrums. But he is such a great helper and loves to participate in helping take care of Fred, emptying the garbage, doing the laundry, taking the trash out, or any other chores that he can get involved in. We really enjoy his sweetness!
Here is Saul starting out the festivities:
We did a little decorating and even got him some Garfield balloons (one of his new favorite DVDs to watch).

Andreas was meticulous in tearing off the wrapping paper and putting every piece on the table.
Andreas's Tia came over and gave him this super cute new outfit.


The hit of the night was this recycling truck that Andreas played with nonstop.

We made a homemade tres leches and it turned out great!
Just some pics of Fred and the fam:

Halloween 2011

This year for Halloween we went all out. We decorated the house back in September anticipating that with the new baby we would not have time to decorate later. When the fateful day came around, Andreas was a zookeeper (complete with lion) and Fred was Mickey Mouse. Andreas did a great job of trick-or-treating and loved his outfit.
Zoe came over to trick-or-treat and was very cute in her kitty outfit.




We never thought we would be some of "those people", but last year we got a big inflatable M&M which we put outside for Halloween.

A good time was had by all and we are already looking forward to next Halloween!
