Thanksgiving 2010 - El Paso, Las Cruces and Cloudcroft

Robert, the fur babies and I all packed up and headed to the beautiful southwest. It was a much needed trip. We had the best food, best company and best time. We took a day trip to Las Cruces to visit the university and meet with our old professors. We went through the pecan orchard and it was BEAUTIFUL! You would never guess we were in the southwest.






While we were down in El Paso, we decided to spend Thanksgiving at the cabin. We weren't fortunate enough to get any snow but it was freaken COLD! It was fantastic! The fireplace never burned out when we were there.


We (pop, mom, Robert, Nanook, Aluche and I) went on a lot of hikes. Since Thanksgiving is a fattening time of year my family and I went on up hill hikes twice day. Nanook and Aluche enjoyed our hikes so much.







Come to think of things, Aluche and Nanook enjoyed the vacationing and hiking better than Robert and I did. They snored for goodness sakes!





Robert and I are so blessed to have had a great and wonderful time with family and friends. We are truly thankful!

Halloween 2010

Robert and I really enjoy Halloween. Every year we like to dress up and every year we try very hard to match. Most of the time we are totally unsuccessful in matching. It just doesn't seem as fun when you match! We try to be creative in our costumes by making them. I was Cleopatra this year and I made my head piece and Robert was Wicus from District 9. Robert made his whole costume. He is extremely creative and I love him for it!

All the little trick or treaters were excited to stop off at our house. All of them remembered our haunted house from last year. One of them actually said they saved our house for last because they wanted to save the best for last. We felt honored. This year our front yard was the haunted playground. HALLOWEEN is so much fun!








Talk about an odd couple, Cleopatra and Wicus. Next year we are going to try and match. We were thinking of Alien and Predator:). We will see!
