September:
Danny's birthday
My family came to visit and we danced at our ward's multicultural night, which was super fun. It's been a couple years since I've danced with my siblings. I taught some primary girls a dance from Mexico, my family and 2 youth danced Guatemala then we closed with Argentina. Our ward couldn't stop thanking us. It sure made me realize how much I love and miss dancing!
October:
I was busy helping out the Cordova stake with their Youth Dance Festival which turned out great!
Halloween- Elia was so excited to go trick or treating. She has been into Jessie from Toy story so we decided to do that as our family theme. It was super fun. She even won an award at our Harvest Festival
We went to Uncle Roy pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins
November:
I drove out to Utah alone with both kids for my niece, Kiana's blessing.
We went to a rehearsal for the Spanish Christmas program "Veni a mi casa esta navidad" that was done on Temple Square.
My mom drove back to CA with me and we stopped to see my cousin, Elder Hortal, who is serving in the Reno, NV mission. He currently is in South Lake Tahoe, which is a beautiful place, so we did a day trip out there.
I provided vestuario and helped a friend, who is a guidance counselor at a high school with a multicultural runway show.
We had a Bair Thanksgiving up here in Sacramento. It was an eventful 4 days. Everyone was up here except for The Disner's who are in China. But they were missed! We ate Thanksgiving Dinner, more like lunch at Jacob and Jennifer's house. Then after us women left the kids at home with the men and abuelita and did our black friday shopping for 8+ hours. By the time 11:30 hit, I started feeling sick. I went back to the house but the rest kept going strong till 1:30am. (I don't think i'll give into the whole "consumer idea" of shopping that early next year) On friday we relaxed, went to the park, played soccer and let the kids run off their energy. Saturday, Susie threw a party for Rebecca, Andrew and Mbali who all turned 2 within the last 3 months. We also made "homeless packages" to have in our car and hand out to people we see on the street, especially during this Christmas season. (it was all Susies idea...props to her) Sunday we all attended our spanish ward and the Bair sisters sang a beautiful song in Sacrament meeting. It was a fun, crazy, tiring, enjoyable weekend with family and a lot of yummy food.
Then a week later, Dec 6. we drove down to L.A for Emma's baptism, and once again it was nice to be with family and especially Emma as she made the important decision to be baptized.
Now to relax a bit and enjoy Christmas here at home. Then after we will be heading out to Utah for a week!
