Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays!
My mother has always instilled in us an appreciation for tradition
so it was a real treat to get to spend Thanksgiving in New Mexico this year.

Charley enjoyed helping Grandma give Isla and Quinn treats during our visit!
She would tell them, "No, No barking!
Playing with Grandpa!
We were afraid she was going to bury him and
we wouldn't be able to find him underneath the pile of toys!
On Saturday after Thanksgiving we got to help
Auntie Katie and Uncle Skyler move into their new home in Albuquerque!
For six years I have been mentoring a girl on the Jemez Pueblo named Taina. She is now twelve years old and in Middle School. We were able to meet up with Taina and her family at Chuck E Cheese for the afternoon. It was wonderful to see them!

On one of our final evenings in Albuquerque we went to the restaurant High Noon in Old Town to check out their upside down Christmas tree and then we took Aunt Mar with us to see the River of Lights at the Albuquerque BioPark.

The River of Lights had some really neat displays this year!

Before we left town we snuck in one last playdate with Brittany and Kaelynn.
We took them to the new play place on the west side called Red Light Green Light!

| Goodbye Albuquerque we had lots of fun! We love you all! |
