They are all out of chronological order, but for naptime-ending-soon reasons, I will leave them as they are.
We have been busy, busy lately and love it. We hosted a housewarming open house a couple of weekends ago and had 63 people in our house (including kids)! It was so special to have our house full of wonderful people. We invited neighbors as well so it was fun to get to know them better. I made dozens and dozens of cookies the week leading up to it and we just served cookies and coffee, which was perfect for a chilly winter morning.
I would love to write more about the children (like how Diego is a superstar with potty training and how Alexia is saying so many words), but the kids are now up from nap and dinner needs to be cooked. So, I will leave you with the pictures and hope to post soon...!
Last night we had dinner with some very special friends. Diego is sitting to the left of Bennett, the birthday boy and the other three cuties are his siblings.
Diego is learning how to cut with scissors, and he loves it!
Diego absolutely loved decorating the tree this year. He hung a ton of ornaments and was such a big helper.
Ricardo helping with the Thanksgiving turkey carving. That's Jim, the awesome host. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of Emily, the awesome hostess.
The beautifully set table and the delicious food awaiting us.
Stella and her parents came over for lunch the day after Thanksgiving. Diego and Stella ran WILD in the leaves and had a blast.
A new favorite way to spend the evenings is roasting marshmallows in the fireplace.
This is the playroom on the day of the housewarming party. The rest of the kids were outside playing.
A cozy shot from the housewarming party. We didn't get any good pictures that captured the fact that there were 60+ people in the house. We'll just have to do it again!
Diego loves to help Ricardo work in the yard. I love this picture of them both hard at work!
One of the cookie recipes I made for the party had hershey kisses in the middle. I gave Diego the task of opening 50+ kisses and he was incredible. He placed all the wrappers in one pile, all the tags in one pile and lined up the kisses in the bowl. I let him have one kiss before the job, one in the middle and one when he finished. I love his helping spirit, it really makes a difference in my days.
