Thanksgiving Week- Part I

What an awesome week I had! Thank you God for the blessing of my mom and friendship from Appi! We had a busy week so I will probably have to do this in 2 posts. Appi, Morgan, Harrison, Lillie, and Mom arrived here last Saturday night around bedtime after driving a half day on Friday and a looong day on Saturday. They went to church with us on Sunday and then I planned Haven's birthday for that afternoon. Haven wanted a "Little Mermaid" party and a "pinata" (she pronounces it as spelled....not with the spanish accent over the "N"). She had a great turn out and had a wonderful time with all her special friends. Mrs. Joy from our church made her cake as her gift from her and she did a great job!

(Yes--Mason has a blindfold on!)

Haven was very happy that her Nuna was there for her party!!

Next, we decorated cupcakes with sprinkles, gummies, M&M's, choc chips, etc. Here are some of the masterpieces.....

And I promise you that you won't visit us without visiting the Rocky Mt. Chocolate Factory!! This is Appi's kids with the bear that sits outside

We then visited Mesa Verde National Park......here we are waiting for the guided tour....

This is the Spruce Treehouse Cliff Dwellings of the ancient Pueblo Indians.....There's a valley between where mom is standing and the dwellings

The whole crew!

Well, I am going to have conclude at another time......our company left this morning and today by 4 it started snowing and covered the ground! They got out just in time!
