The day after Thanksgiving, we headed over to Kip and Mandy's for some birthday celebration and more family fun.

Time for the annual first snow pictures! Seems like the snow came early this year :)
Another winter wonderland scene!

Joseph Turns 10!!! - Part 3 - Big Bear

Birthday weekend continued up at Big Bear! Another great visit to the cabin and Joseph's first.
He was stoked to have a visit from my folks waiting for him. He could barely wait until we brought in all of our stuff and then he ripped into the present and proceeded to play with the Legos for the next 2 hours!

Joseph and I (Michelyn) decided to go for a horseback ride - Joseph had never actually ridden a horse before, so he started off a bit nervous but by the end thought it was fabulous :)

Joseph and DeeDee his horse (mine was named Bebe)

Joseph Turns 10!!! - Part 2 - The Party

Party day finally came!

Joseph's friend, Jonathan, came over and Joseph was so happy to have a good friend from school at the house.

Present time :)

Joseph was so glad that Peter & Araceli could come to the party. They also brought one of their daughters, Paola, and a cousin Pablo. Peter and Ara are wonderful people who Joseph lived with before coming to our home. We have enjoyed beginning to get to know them! They have done wonders for Joseph and are very easy to talk with and spend time with.
