Thanksgiving 2014

After the Turkey Trot, we headed over to Esteban's parents' house for dinner.  Family drove in from Southern California, so we had a full house of 15 people.  I love a house full of laughter and family.  

It is always so great to see our niece Aiyana.  We love hanging out on the back patio and catching up on her life.

Our niece Alejandra was there too.  She chased the dogs around.  They are both so good with little kids.  She kept grabbing Susie's ear saying "ear" "ear".

Aiyana is so good with Alejandra.  She plays with her and shows her things.  We can hardly wait to have our own children so that they can bond.  :)

After awhile, the dogs were going crazy from the food smells, so we decided to go on a walk. Both girls asked to come along and so we went to the park to play.

It was easy to imagine taking similar walks with our children and dogs some day.

Back at the house, Aiyana and I got into an intense game of tic tac toe.  Games were a big part of holidays around my house, so it was fun to share that tradition.

Getting healthy

One of our goals is to use the time that we are waiting to start a family to get healthier.  Today, we started a new family tradition of the Thanksgiving morning Turkey Trot.  

It was awesome to see all of the families out here.  We can't wait to share this tradition with our children someday and help them love staying active and healthy.
