Melissa Turns 30

We had Melissa, Jimmy and Judi over for dinner on Melissa's birthday. Mary baked cupcakes instead of a birthday cake. In honor of Melissa's 30th Mary baked 30 cupcakes and arranged them to display the number 30. It included 30 candles.

Judi helped with the decorations.

With the lights out it was quite a display.

Melissa seemed pleased with the cupcakes.

Melissa tried to blow out all the candles, but needed help from Judi.

Lancaster snow

It really does snow in the desert.




Kaleb's Second Birthday

Jan. 2 was Kaleb's second birthday. The cake was a monster truck made by Joanne.

Kaleb enjoyed opening gifts.

The little chair was from Kelly, Mary, Michael and Gwen.

The bed was from the Vasquez side of the family.

Kaleb let Michael play in his ball.


Lillian was her normal mellow self.

Christmas 2010

Christmas morning started with Michael opening the gifts in his stocking.

Judi came over to the house with Melissa and Jimmy for Christmas breakfast. Here, she is waiting while Grandpa reads the Christmas Story.

Judi was thrilled with her monkey "Snuggy". So was Melissa.

Michael and Judi had fun opening gifts.

They also had fun playing with the gifts. Judi received a castle to color and Michael decided to try it on for size.

After breakfast at our house, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's apartment to eat and spend time with family. This picture is for Jonathan. Coke rules.

After our meal, Madison decorated cookies with the ladies. I don't know who had the most fun but Madison was the better artist.
