| thanksgiving morning 2014, where my gratitude begins |
| i started bread baking this month. totally new to me - and i (we all) love it! |
| i always take the girls with me to vote. hoping they'll absorb the importance as they grow older. |
| our bugs sure are artists (they're zavala cousins included). mila and ayin quietly watercoloring. |
| auntie emi was taking photos and mila started "posing!" it was too funny! |
| took evia to a fun-filled birthday party, for our dear friend penelope and it was held at my old gym. not one thing has changed in 25 years!!! |
| i made a major hair change while d was away hunting. loving it! |
| evia helping grandpa with yard work. weather finally starting to cool off. |
| this lady is a puzzle master. her find at the rummage sale, a wooden box with three wooden puzzles for $1. she completes them simultaneously. |
| our two ladies at nana and grandpa's |
| apple picking with grandpa in the garden |
| a little fever and a little rest |
| papa's forest-found elk and deer shed. a pretty cool souvenir. |
| a mila-mama-papa date at brophy's on a perfect fall day |
| more bread baking, rosemary rolls with dinner |
| they were all laughing hysterically, romping around, after papa came home from work |
| evia does daily portraits, this one in her journal of mama and papa |
| silly grandpa taught the girls to eat their popcorn like puppies! but he made a fire for us on a cold day - so all is good! |
| one chilly morning the girls and i got bundled and went to the beach for a couple hours - it was fall heaven |
| tino's sandwiches and playing at the park a pretty nice sunday |
| becky came through town during thanksgiving. fun in the pool, on the playground with the covers (!) and a spa day for us mama's was such a treat! |
| my best bud! |
| papa pic |
| perfect spa day |
| my little turkey! |
| a relaxing thanksgiving this year. lots of time enjoying togetherness. |
| sissies on thanksgiving |
| visiting with my dear friend mandy and watching the next generation of friends |
| auntie anna taking our holiday pictures. she always captures the moment so beautifully |
| deer on my parent's lane, while little rain drops fell. magical. |
