Our "Last" Weekend

This weekend was fun and we did a lot of stuff before we go back to school on Monday. Friday, my sister made plans for a bunch of us to go eat at Maggiano's before she headed back to Lubbock. We miss you Valerie and I'm glad we go to see you for two whole weeks!


Saturday evening we went to one of my favorite student's Quincenera party. Cambria loved it! She was dancing and shrieking. She also sat in Dacoda's lap and played with her beautiful dress. My student aide from last year, Morgan was in the party (it's a bad angle, but unfortunately the only picture we took). It was really nice to see my old students who are all high schoolers now. I miss them!! Dacoda looked beautiful and we were glad to share Cambria with her.





Today while I ran some last minute errands for the week, Todd and Cambria put together her ball popper. She LOVES it! I was amazed at how much she can do with it already! Good choice Grandmother Paula!

Hobson Christmas

We stopped at my parents house on our way home from Colorado to open gifts since we didn't want to haul everything up there and back. Cambria got clothes, toys and the play "fort" I asked for! Here are some pictures.

Nall Christmas

Todd's parents gave Cambria her gifts early since we were headed to Colorado. She got a couple outfits and a ball popper. Here's a few pictures.

Colorado Christmas

Right when school was done for the year on Friday the 19th, Todd, Cambria and I headed to Lubbock. We met up with my family and headed to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Our wish for Cambria this year was to have a white Christmas. Well, she had a VERY white Christmas! It was so beautiful and so was the drive up there actually. We got snowed in on Christmas Day. We went skiing at Wolf Creek and visited downtown Durango and Purgatory (the #5 best Christmas town according to HGTV). It was a wonderful 1st Christmas for Cambria! The link below shows you the rest of our photos.

Christmas Coyote

We were out buying me a car last night and at the dealership they had the Spurs Coyote! Cambria loved him and kept shrieking when he would walk by. It was cute.
