We had Thanksgiving at our house last minute because no one planned anything so we celebrated Turkey day here. We went to Jimmy's parents for a little bit (I hadn't been there for over 6 months) but it was a nice visit. We really didnt do shopping the next day. I wen to Target but that was about it. Not to impressed. This year was hard to shop for gifts because Avanti has everything she wants and I had to come up with stuff just for her to have gifts to open... but luckily she added a few things to the list and it worked out. Kennedy was easy... trains, dinosours and cars.
For my mom and dads birthday we put together a surprise birthday/wedding anniversary party at Letty and Marks house. We invited some friends and family and my brother paid for the mariachi. It was a great party. I got a sitter for the kids to watch them at the party and my parents were blown away. They kind of caught on when they showed up and saw bright lights but when they were sitting down chit chatting and the mariachi just walked in playing the mananitas it blew them away! my mom jumped because she didnt expect a mariachi. THey had so much fun. I love doing nice things for them. I wish I could do more.
For Kennedy's 3rd Birthday we went to Disneyland and had a character breakfast with my parents. We went to Paradise Pier Hotel and did the Mickey and Friends breakfast. We saw Mickey, Minnie, Stitch, Baloog, and a few others. On the day of his birthday we went to Scooters Jungle, and to Claim Jumpers. We stopped by the party store and lucky for us they had a dino supply section so he got the pinata, plates, goodie bags, candle and balloon. He really enjoyed his birthday. Avanti and him broke his little pinata in the backyard and it was really nice.
Christmas we went to Jimmys parents for a little while then Letty's house. Oh what a day. So we got invited to a bday party next door and we were getting ready to go..... I asked Avanti to go bathroom before we left and she ran to the bathroom... Kennedy ran behind her she slammed the door and caught his pinky finger!! OMG I thought it was broken. It looked zig zagged. I iced it, I hugged him and nothing. I took him next door to the party and he just wanted to be with me. So off we went to the emergency room. I could tell he was in pain but he was so cute. When I was checking him in ..he stuck his finger thru the window and asked the little if she was going to fix his booboo. They took a look at his finger, asked how it happened and recomended xrays. After the xrays we found out it was fine and that it would be sore for a while. He had the ugliest looking blood blister that took a while to go away. Poor Avanti felt so bad for closing the door on her brother... but it was both their fault for running in the house.
New Years. We went up to Sacramento. The day we were leaving Kennedy threw up so we left a day later. Spend New Years Eve at Old Town Sac with my parents, bro and Chicol and Yuri. After that we went to one of their friends house and then off to the room. We stayed at Travis Air Force Base. On New Years Day we went my aunt Hermenlinda's house and then back to the base to meet with my other aunt Adela. We ended up ordering pizza and hanging out in our room. The rooms on base are apartments. It was a lot of fun. We went home the next day.
I am very thankful that the year ended with all of us safe, healthy and alive. and it began the same way as well. I love my family and am glad to have them all around.
