Thankful

This year was Guillermo's first Thanksgiving and Francisco and I's second Thanksgiving being married:) Like always we enjoy our time spent with family. Wednesday night we decided to go up to my parent's house in Dubuque. Thursday my dad made a smashin' turkey and I tried to master tamale making, while my husband and my dad worked on stuff outside that needed to get done. Friday Francisco got work in Davenport and my parents and I put on Christmas lights on around the outside of their house. It was a beautiful day! Saturday we all headed to my grandparents house and Sunday we had a thanksgiving meal there with my relatives. We really enjoyed our time spent with everyone and look forward to seeing people again during Christmas time.
