On Monday Ricardo and I celebrated 8 years of marriage!!!! We had our big celebration on Friday night with a night away at an area hotel. A very dear couple came over to spend the night with the kids and Ricardo and I had a fabulous time away. We had never spent the night away together since Diego was born so it was a much-needed mini vacation. We returned feeling refreshed and reconnected. On Monday night we had a quick dinner out at our favorite Mexican restaurant with the kids. It was special to have a family dinner out on our anniversary.
On Tuesday I attempted to take the kids to see Santa Claus, but it didn't go so well. So bad in fact, I didn't even buy the pictures. Alexia freaked out as soon as she saw Santa and Diego would not even attempt to crack a smile. I think we'll try once more this weekend. I had them all dressed up in the adorable outfits from Roberto and Daniela's wedding so I snapped some shots at the mall and when we returned home. Diego was ecstatic to put his wedding suit on - he received so much attention at the mall!
On Wednesday we drove out to visit our friends Nina and Deven. Diego had a blast playing with all of Deven's vehicles and Nina and I enjoyed catching up. Alexia also enjoyed exploring all of Deven's toys and tried her best to keep up with the big boys.
Today is a very warm day so we spent a good part of the morning outside playing ball and blowing bubbles. It had been so long since we'd done that so it was a lot of fun.
Tonight we have Ricardo's holiday office party which we are looking forward to.
I'll have more pictures to post tomorrow because we are going to a Birthday Party for Jesus at a friends house with cake and all!
After Alexia's tears were dry, we tried to take a few pictures at the mall.
This is an intentional pose for the picture. He was cracking me up because he kept turning his body this way and that...just so I could get the perfect shot!
Diego went through a stage where he didn't want to give Alexia cuddles, but now he is all about cuddling her, especially for pictures.

The rest of these pictures are from our morning at home today. It has been a wonderfully lazy day and we were in our jammies until noon.
The kids love playing hide and seek together. This is Alexia looking for Diego under his bed...
...and here she is looking for him behind his chair.
Alexia still isn't walking, but this week she has learned to stand on her own. When I say "How big is Alexia!?!?" she throws her arms up in the air like this...so cute!

So cute! In the picture on the horse, Alexia looks just like a dark-haired version of you! Hope you're all well, we miss you.
GREAT pictures--your kids are so precious. :) I love when the big sib "holds" and cuddles little sib. We are just getting into that here too. I think it's so special to see sibling love already. :)
Glad y'all had a great mini-trip away!!
