Thanksgiving 2020

As with the other holidays this year Thanksgiving was a quiet affair at home. Somehow we made food for 30 people even though we were only feeding 6, but that just meant lots of delicious leftovers! We got up early Thursday to start cooking. While Dad prepped the meat, the girls and mom worked on the sides. They were very dedicated helpers this year and seemed to enjoy working in the kitchen on different recipes. In the afternoon, BB and Papa came over to eat and spend time. It was a very nice, relaxing Thanksgiving.

Much Love,

10th Anniversary

 Today we celebrate 10 years of marriage and we couldn't be more proud of ourselves! In this past decade we have encountered many changes, challenges and blessings. We have been reflecting the past couple weeks about the state of our marriage and family life and we're amazed at how wonderful they both are. It's often that we say to each other, "Other married people don't like each other this much after 10 years, right?" because what we've found in the last 10 years is that we've learned how to love each other better, fight more fairly and be better parents. 

To celebrate we went out to dinner as a family to our favorite restaurant. The girls both made us cards and Abigail gave us $10 to represent 10 years (it's something that Mumzie does for her birthday). It was so thoughtful, mommy cried a little. We look forward to what the next 10 years hold and can only pray that it will be just as good as these last 10 years have been.

Much Love,

Lazy Saturdays

 Saturdays are just the best in our house this year. Without the need to be traveling constantly for work we have been able to devote a lot more time to home on the weekends. This weekend was no exception and Dad was able to snap a shot of Mom and the girls lounging on the couch.

Halloween 2020

It's Halloween at the Ledezma's!! Unfortunately, with COVID we decided not to do our traditional trick or treating. Instead Dad & Mom decided to do a scavenger hunt. Dad wrote out all the clues and we picked up some Halloween goodies for them to find throughout the house and backyard. Even though they didn't get to go out trick or treating they said it was still a fun Halloween and they want to do a scavenger hunt next year too!

Much Love,

All Saints Day

 Allison's kindergarten class celebrated All Saints Day today. Each year the kindergarten students select a saint that they will dress up like and get up in front of the school to say a few lines about their selected saint. Allison chose St. Elizabeth of Hungary, she was a princess in the 1200's who is the patron saint of hospitals, which was a timely choice for 2020. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend because of COVID restrictions, but we did get to watch a live stream and the school took photos. We were very proud of Allison for getting up in front of her classmates and speaking so well.

Pumpkin Carving

 It's pumpkin carving time again! This year, mom was not much help as she's still unable to use her left hand for hardly anything due to her injury so dad took over almost everything on the carving side. After he was finished, mom decided he should always do the carving! While dad worked on the pumpkins, the girls put together goody bags for both of their classes. Since no parents are allowed at the parties due to COVID, we could only do goody bags with prepackaged food and send them with the kids. Much like everything else, this is different too. After we were all complete we went outside to light the pumpkins, they all looked so good.

Fall Wedding

We attended the wedding of a family friend this past Saturday. It was outdoors on a farm in Oklahoma and was absolutely beautiful. We spent the evening watching the young couple celebrate and seeing friends we haven't gotten to see much due to COVID. The girls had a great time dancing and talking to everyone.

Much Love,
