Happy Thanksgiving

We headed up to uncle Mike and auntie DJ's house in Apple Valley for Thanksgiving dinner. The kids had fun playing with all of cousin Nay Nay's toys. We enjoyed a yummy dinner and had a great time being with family!

It's Official

On November 1st our whole family headed down to the San Bernardino courthouse to celebrate Nathan's official adoption ceremony. We have waited a long time for this day to get here and I am so happy that we could be there to witness this special event.

Happy Halloween

What a fun Halloween we had. Gramma and Poppa got to experience a California Halloween this year. We had everyone over at our house for dinner and trick or treating. We had a bonfire on the driveway while handing out candy. The kids had so much fun trick or treating in our neighborhood
