kings and serfs

as i mentioned in the last post, we have the rosebroughs to thank for introducing us to the fab game of "kings & serfs".  here are marybeth and myself as the king and queen.  i have to say they have more creative hats than us!

 mauricio as my queen ;)  we all knew he would show his true colors eventually.

 ha ha ha! i am the king!!!!

 linda and marybeth as the lowly serfs.

 trouble making serfs.

 the most  handsome serf of the evening.  sorry zach, i am referring to the guy above.

 although the rosebroughs have great hats, our impromptu serf gear at the hotel was pretty fantastic.

you can't beat a disposable hotel shower cap and a leftover plastic cookie package!  sarah is such a good sport.

thanksgiving weekend part 3 (gone to the dogs)

yeah, yeah, yeah,  i know.  it's a bit late. this thing has been sitting in my drafts for a week.  so here it is. 

the last day of our grand celebration we all, minus mauricio's brother, went for a walk with ALL the dogs!  including my in-law's dogs.  that makes 7!  i had to take my camera along to capture that parade.

celena wanted a picture with all our dogs.  let's just say, cesar milan mauricio is not. it actually looks like he is trying to take a ride. whoa there! cowboy!

thanksgiving weekend part 2 (cityplace)

the day after thanksgiving we all had a great day. went to the track in the morning and cityplace in the afternoon/evening. we saw "a christmas carol" at the imax. it was a bit intense for gracie and she was a bit intense for me. in my opinion, it was an "ok" movie. but the company was great.after the movie we sauntered around cityplace a bit. there was a ballet group performing the nutcracker, so we watched for a little while. savannah had the best seat in the house.

tell me she's not the cauuutest!we did a little window shopping and wandered into a really fab store: restoration hardware. do you think they would mind if i just sat in their big comfy couches all day with my laptop? seriously, i want to live there! do you see what i mean?then we went into all the overpriced, but fun, boutiques and i think we may have made a few of the sales ladies annoyed and a bit nervous. but we just ignored them. tell me this girl isn't tres chic!and this one is totally hip. and this clock is way fun. it has a bell tower to go with. love it!love it even more at night.merry christmas!

thanksgiving weekend bash (part one)

i hope your thanksgiving didn't look like this. we had a fantastic thanksgiving weekend! mauricio's parents and brother came up from miami and one of his sisters came out from utah. everyone gathered at our house for the big feast. we fired up the pool heater so we could swim, we watched A TON of movies, did crafts, went to city place, went walking and ate LOTS of food. a good time was had by all.

aunt celena brought a fun kit to make christmas ornaments. the girls adore their aunt celena.

sarah the cover girl.
