Going home!

P.S. Hands down, the dvd player is the best gift ever, especially when you are in an airplane. :D

As the last touch to our visit to Iowa, the whole family went out to choose our Christmas tree. We walked and walked until we found the perfect tree.

I helped Grandpa carry it to the house.

Then, I helped cutting the branches that were too long or uneven.

Finally, it was time to decorate the tree. Grandma and I worked very hard, so that that night we could have...

Christmas
(I know it is a month before Christmas...but, whatever)

THANKSGIVING 2009

Days 1176 & 161, Wednesday, 25 November, 2009

This may be the only snow I'm going to see this year, so when I saw it was snowing, I was pretty excited.
Mami and Daddy were pretty excited too, so we all went outside to play with the snow.
Isn't it beautiful?!

Going on a tractor ride with Grandpa!!!

I think this is my favorite thing about coming to the farm.

Days 1173 & 158, Sunday, 22 November, 2009

On Sunday, we got the family together for a nice meal of spaghetti. Of course, pictures were taken. My sister and my cousin seemed to be the center of attention, as you can tell by the pictures. That's not nice, is it?

We are in Iowa!!!
Daddy and Mami decided that it was a great idea to go to Iowa for Thanksgiving. (I think it was Grandma and Grandpa's idea but they didn't have to do a whole lot of convincing).
Anyway, once we got there, (after a very long trip), it was time for us to visit Grandpa Jack.

Grandpa Jack really, really likes to dance. Here, he is asking me for the next dance. At the beginning, I was a little unsure, but in the end...

I had so much fun dancing with Grandpa Jack. Looking forward to the next time.

Celebracion de Halloween y Dia de Muertos en la escuela de Cecilia.

Cecilia decided to get dressed as a cheerleader (and not as a princess like every other girl in her class, except for one). Thanks to Granma for providing the costume. :)
Off to the school, where the teachers explain the meaning of the Dia de Muertos and the Mexican tradition of building altars for the dead.
They asked everybody who they were dressed as, and of course, Cecilia didn't open her mouth.

Here is the 'Altar de Muertos' of the school. Pretty cool, eh?

Today we were looking nice, so we took advantage of it and took some pictures.

El primer dia de Lila en el exersaucer

Yo creo que Cecilia se divierte mas que Lila. Pero bueno...

Days 1136 & 121, 16 October, 2009

In Cecilia's school, everyday there is a little bit of a competition. The kid who earns the most stars gets to take home Tugui, the class' mascot. Today, Cecilia was such a good girl in school that she got to take Tugui home for the whole weekend.
