Thanksgiving In New Mexico!

This year we decided to go to Deming, New Mexico to spend Thanksgiving with Vinnie's family.  The last time we were here for Thanksgiving was 2006 when Gabe was just 9 months old.  We have discovered it is best for us to drive close to the 1/2 way mark and stay the night and do the other 1/2 the next day.  We like to stay on Cortez, Co.  The kids do really well on the long road trip.  It is about 14 hours from here to Deming.  We arrived in Deming Wednesday evening.  The kids were excited and seemed to remember Grandma & Grandpa's house no problem. Vinnie's Mom and sister Tish made our Thanksgiving dinner, which was fabulous!

Dad carved the Turkey!

The kiddos found ways to entertain themselves while waiting for dinner..

Gabe was certainly in the spirit, the little smarty pants!

Abby was having fun playing some nice Holiday music..

Sebastian was doing his thing..running around like crazy!

Austin was staying busy on his laptop...

I LOVE Abby's shirt!  It says:  Everyone is Thankful for me! 

 (she knows it too, that's what makes it even better)

Austin & Grandpa broke the wishbone..wonder if Austin's wish will come true???

Happy Thanksgiving!
