These were some of the highlights...
Monica had challenged me awhile back to a "Sing Star Battle". So it was on and I won!!!! Sorry Monz...but I must say you were definitely a worthy opponent.
We celebrated Maya's, Eden's, my little cousin Pochito's and my cousin Monica's birthday while everyone was here. Monica was sad that she always has to share her birthday with her little cousins, so I made her a special big girl birthday cake.
We couldn't have a proper party without a pinata...
The loot
Okay that's enough pinata pictures.
Receiving our very first pets...
Micah and Sarah got us these fish, named Aric and Jess. Micah almost killed them when he overfed them. Luckily we had a fish expert around (thanks Tia Lucy!) and it took about five people to save these little guys.
Playing Around...
Tia Ana jammin' with Maya, Edee and Aby
Micah playing with the kids
Hanging Out
My brothers Ben and Eric
Tia Lucy, Tio Marco and Dani
This is Eric giving Tia Ana stamps to reimburse her for the ones he took over twenty years ago when he about five years old. He was supposed to be taking a nap in her bedroom when he found her stamps and licked them and then used them to wall paper her bedroom.
What Tia Ana wants...Tia Ana gets.
Tia Lucy having her first taste of "Sour Patch Kids"
Watching Movies
"Baby" meeting the family
He still doesn't have a name yet.
I know this is a long post, but it was a long weekend. I still don't feel like I captured everything. We packed a whole lot into just a few days. It was chaos at times and I'm sure there were a few cold showers, but I loved having everyone here. Thank you all for coming!
This is a picture of Maya and Eden saying good bye to the lasts of our guests....yes they are barefoot and in their pajamas. That's just how we roll.

It looks like a great weekend - what a fun group of people. We were thinking about you guys and hope that Maya had a wonderful experience - I can't wait to hear all the details.
Every time I read your blog I miss you guys more. One of these days I won't be able to stand it and I will just have to come and visit.
You can just feel the love of family through this post! Love it! Do you ever rest?
you have a cute family. sounds like everyone on both sides of the family get along well, which is definitely an added bonus. i'm sorry i missed the W.H.O.L.E. thing. i was way sad to miss maya's baptism - but i got the scoop from mike who said it fantastic... i wouldn't have expected less. maya's dress was fabulous, you are gifted. i'm glad you got to see family, and now i'm glad you get rest.

Wow, I am seriously impressed with your hosting skills. You need to prep me for Thanksgiving because I have a lot of family coming into town!
Love the Transformer shirt. :) Jack would think you're the coolest Mom on earth if he saw it . . . as if he already doesn't think you're sooooo cool.
