Pictures galore

The past several weeks have been busy, busy and I have not done a good job keeping you posted with photos and happenings around here. I just uploaded a bunch of pictures and have more to go, but will let you enjoy these first :)


Diego and Alexia have always loved lil' Benjamin. We took care of him a couple of weeks ago and we can't call him "Baby Benjamin" anymore because he's a big boy. He is so sweet and adorable!


This was from Christmas dinner. Diego was really excited to be the photographer.


Ricardo and my mom took the kids to the park one afternoon and had a blast!

Waiting in line for the Pink Pig at Macy's. This is a very popular Atlanta Christmas tradition. We waited in line for almost 1 1/2 hour for a 2.5 minute ride. But the kids LOVED it!

Diego and Alexia were so excited that they were able to sit all by themselves.

The rule is that babies cannot sit on laps so Marco had to sit on the bench like a big boy. He did great.

Big boy!

When Ricardo and I went away for the weekend, my mom had a thousand and one things for the kids to do. She said they only watched TV for 20 minutes on Monday morning when she showered. Here they are very focused on decorating their Christmas cookies.

Alexia has this new thing of poking her tongue in her cheek when she is focused on a task. So cute!

Grammie told them they had to wait until we got home to try the cookies so here they are digging in!

In early December, we went out to lunch with Aldo, Eliana and Cami to celebrate Cami's 16th birthday. Here's the birthday girl with the Lopez fam.

Also in early December, we went to Chik Fil A with Patricia and Caitlin and stayed there for THREE hours. The kids had the indoor play area to themselves (pictured above) and Patricia and I hung out and chatted while Marco snoozed in my arms.

The annual making of the gingerbread house. I need to get an after shot because it turned out so cute.

Before we cut Alexia's hair, I used to love how it looked in a ponytail. Doesn't she look so grown up here?

Marco and Callen playing on the kitchen floor.

Big siblings in on the action, too!

I am sorry that this was very random and out of order, but wanted to get pictures up before more days go by. We are on our way out to have lunch and park time with some friends. Happy New Year! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMIE!!!!
