New Blogger

Sorry about the confusion on being able to post lately. Blogger has changed so now we'll have a new username and password. Once you log-in everything is the same or at least it's supposed to be. I sent out an email last night to those that I have and then if you can spread it around to those who don't that would be helpful. Thanks, and sorry for the confusion. I'm having some trouble sending out instructions to a few people, if anyone has received the email can they let me know. You can send me an email at meneses100@gmail.com. That will be the new email address that you can send anything you want posted to.

Happy Birthday to my Little Brother Art

Happy Birthday to Art,

Hi there, I hope none of you who don't know will keel over from shock, but I've finally joined the human race and got a lap top. So I want to take the oppourtunity to wish Art a Happy Birthday. I sent you a card but lazy me I just got it off in the mail today. (Sorry!) But I want you to know that your not forgotten and that I do wish you the very best and that today would have been a very special day.

I hope everything is going fine with you and yours. My family is doing just fine. We're all fat and happy!

I've been over to see dad, I think it's important to do that, but sometimes it's just sad.

I've got to go, but I hope you've had a great Happy, Happy, Birthday.

Your big sister,

Elvia

Just a couple of picture's from the tamale making day.

New to Blogging?

If anyone out there in the family would like to send in a photo or leave a new post, but are having problems doing so or just don't know how, let me know. I'd be happy to add extra users and to give instructions if anyone needs them. Thanks, I hope all is well.

 

Photos from Christmas

Thanks to Caroline for sending me some pictures to post.

Merry Christmas

A message from Maine

Here's a Christmas photo that Uncle Art sent me. If anyone else has pictures of Christmas Eve or Christmas day I'd really like to post them up here.

Merry Christmas Eve

I wanted to wish the entire family all over the country merry Christmas! Of course I wish you could all make it out to Woodville tonight, but everyone not there will be in our thoughts as I'm sure we'll be in yours. May everyone have safe travels and please take some pictures. I'd like to put some up here in the next couple of days.

Update

Hi Guys!

It is good to see pictures of the little cousins! They grow so fast. I wanted to let everyone know that life here in Massachusetts is going very well. I was just accepted into my number one choice for graduate school! I will be going to Lesley University to pursue a Masters in Special Education. I will begin in the spring and am very excited.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas time!

Take care,

Art

Happy Birthday

Today is little Dave's 5th birthday. We hope you have a great day and get lots of presents.
Are there any other December birthdays that we are missing here. If so please leave a comment. Any other news out there, pass it along.

A reindeer day

Today some of the kids got together to get in the Christmas Spirit. Mateo, Abram, Everett, Sawyer, Connor, Jack, and Paxton made Red Nosed Reindeer cookies at Caroline's house. Even though the boy got a little crazy at times it was a fun day and maybe a bit of a preview of Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve

Okay. Here are plans for Christmas Eve. Maria will be hosting a tamale making party (come on it is a party to make tamales!) at her house on Friday, December 22nd. More details to come.

Hot chocolate and cookies will be served at Grandpa Art's and Carlos' house between 4 to 6 on Christmas Eve so stop by to wish them a Merry Christmas. From 5 to 9, a buffet and games will be offered at the Smith residence. Please call me or Susan with any questions.
