Easter 2002 was our last Easter in El Paso. The boys started off inspecting their baskets the 
Easter Bunny left for them during the night. Shortly afterwards, Susan and I hid some Easter Eggs for the kids to hunt. Later that night, we hosted a small party and invited some of my coworkers and friends.

Christmas 2001 was our last Christmas in the Army and at El Paso, TX. This was one of the few 
Christmas Days we spent alone as a family. The distance between our home and our family made it difficult to be with anyone for the holidays. We attended the Christmas party for my office. On Christmas day, we had a quite day as a family. Brian and Aaron made out with a lot of neat toys. Susan got an imported leather jacket from Mexico! Mike got the two DVDs he had been wanting for a long time, Pearl Harbor and Saving Private Ryan. To the right is a photograph of Brian and Aaron on Santa’s lap at the local mall.

At the end of Brian’s 2001 soccer season we took photographs of the closing ceremony. This was 
Brian’s third and final season. On December 1, 2001, youth services had an award ceremony. On the following day his team met at Chuckie Cheese for their own little ceremony. Here is a photograph of Brian receiving his trophy from his coach.

Christmas 2000 was another great christmas. This was our first Christmas in El Paso, TX. We got 
to share this holiday with Susan’s Mother, Mrs. Lafreniere. Needless to say, the kids got everything they wanted! Susan got Wiggles, a dog, for Christmas. Susan rescued her from the Humane Society. Thanks to everyone who helped made this day special for our family.

When we lived in El Paso, Brian played soccer for a couple of seasons. Here are the pictures from
Brian’s second soccer game, and the first game they won with a score of 2-0! Brian is number 26. Here is Brian’s soccer photograph for the year. Click on the photograph to view the entire gallery.
In El Paso, there was a mountain that had a road that went around it. At the top of the mountain, 
there was a lookout point. From this point one could see El Paso, New Mexico and Mexico. The view was spectacular at nighttime. The lights were very visible in El Paso because there were not many trees to disrupt the view. In the nighttime photographs, the large gap with no lights is the Rio Grande River. Here is a photograph of Susan, Brian and Aaron standing on the mountain. The photograph looks green because I was using the night view feature on a camcorder.
