Ava is 5

 Happy birthday to Ava who is turning five! It's been so fun to see the Matute kids growing up and being part of their lives. We are so happy and grateful for this friendship!

Her birthday party theme was Encanto and it was so beautiful! Kelly always does a great job. The girls had a lot of fun. 

Giovanna loves being with the kids and acting like everyone's big sister. Jennifer and Samantha were there as well. Every time I see them together I remember when they little (and I want to cry). 

Look at how big they are!!!

2025

The idea of a whole new year is always very exciting for me. I like to think I have 365 blank pages to write on. I usually try to write a good story full of beautiful memories with people I love, personal and spiritual growth, and some bumps and falls along the way.

2024 was a busy year with daily responsibilities, church calling, and finishing nursing school. As I graduate and contemplate some free time I also think about goals I would like to accomplish that I was not able to last year. 

I am excited for 2025. 

Ale and I had decided to celebrate New Year’s eve at home since he would be waking up early to go to the office. Plans changed when he told me he would be working from home instead. We decided to go the Matutes as we do every year.

It was fun to be around friends, music, and food. I love a good party to ring in the new year.
