Awesomeness

Yesterday Gracie, my mom & I went to McCormick Railroad Park for the first time & we had a BLAST!

It was one of my friends daugther's birthday party & I we were very excited to see all of the moms & kids of my mom's group.

Since it was a party I wanted Grace to wear a nice dress, little I knew that dresses are uncomfortable when all you want to do is run, jump, throw yourself on the ground, etc... but boy she looked cute!!!



The day was beautiful, the weather was goregous!






Gracie is obsessed with the carrousel by the way.



This park is pure awesomeness, real trains, carrousel, lots & lots of green areas, playgrouds!!! A great location for any photographer. I got some cute pictures of my baby.





We had so much fun, mostly Grace ... running with her friends!




Eating sand ahem, ahem ... tasting new flavors!



Just being a spunky, full of energy almost 2 year old little girl!




We also got to ride the chu chuuu with all the mommys & their kiddos!




We had a great day it was a super way to spend some time together ... wonderful weather, wonderful friends, delicious food, my mom + my baby, I can't ask for anything else.


I absolutely love this picture of the 3 of us! My mom is my fundation, my support & I love her to pieces. Grace also loves her grandma to death and I feel very blessed to have her with us.

I'm still here

It's been a while.

But I have been so busy organizing Gracie's birthday party, packing, a 13 hrs road trip, unpacking, Gracie's 1st birthday, Thanksgiving, another birthday party, packing, another 13 hrs road trip, unpacking, uff!

I'm also dissapointed that I couldn't achieve to post every day of November, oh well! maybe next year.

We went to Colorado  and we got to be there for Gracie's actual birthday, we went to dinner to a fun place called Gunther Toody's and at the end they sang the Happy Birthday for her and I had to dance! They also gave her a funny hat that all the waitress signed and puted red lips on it. It was so fun!

Thanksgiving day was great. The food was delicious. We loved to spent it with our family. We have so much to be thankful for. Family, friends, health, our beautiful daughter.

She had her first "real" Thanksgiving meal and she loved it, she ate everything, Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, yams, stuffing, pie ... there is nothing she wouldn't try and for that I'm very thankful too.

She wore a beautiful outfit her Aunt Marsha got for her, isn't she cute?

The weather was COLD but we made sure we have everything to keep her warm.

I just love these pj's!

 

And what can I say about these boots? Adorable

We also were able to help putting the X-mas tree up and we had so much fun! Gracie was mesmerized with all the ornaments and lights! She even has her very own ornament on her aunt and uncle's tree.

I love that we are creating such a cool memories for her!

And at last but not least we celebrated her birthday AGAIN! but this time with the family and some friends. Aunt Marsha made the cake and her cousins Jenni and Michelle brougth her balloons, we love balloons!!!
I can say that without a doubt they love her to death!
She was very happy!!!

We had an amazing time and are looking forward to go back for Christmas.

Thank you Marsha, Mike, Jenni, Dom, Michelle, Cory, Mikey for your hospitality, we love you guys very very much!!!

Birthday Party # 2

Gracie and I had a wonderful brunch with some of our friends today!

They have known her since I was pregnant and then when she was born all of them were there with me supporting me!

 Grace's birthday was the perfect excuse to get together and talk and have fun together, I love them with all my heart and I'm so thankful I can call them my friends.

Another cake for Gracie! :)

Exploring the restaurant with her failry new walking skills!!!

She was mad because I didn't want to give her more cake and ice cream!

We just have 1 more party to go in Colorado with the family and I just hope she is not going to want 3 parties every year!

Birthday Party # 1

We had Gracie's party yesterday and all I can say is that it was PERFECT!

Our family and friends were here with us to help us celebrate.

The "theme" of the party was Hello Kitty and I loved it! Gracie loved it too, we got tons of ballons ro decorate the house and the backyard.

Even Jr. joined us!!!

Gracie wasn't sure about her cake but she did a good job after all and she didn't get the sugar high too bad!!!

My sister in law, Marsha, made the cakes and I made the cupcakes, I had so much fun making the cupcakes toopers as well. They were so easy to make!!!

What can I say about her outfit? BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the tutu and her piggy tails.

We had a blast celebrating another milestone!

I can't believe she will be ONE in 3 days.

We love you baby!

Thank you to all the people that made her first birthday party a success! We are so glad you are in our lives!

Lack of posts

I know I'm behind my posting but I have been really busy with Grace's party. Man! I never thought that organize a kids party was such a big deal and is not like I'm throwing a HUGE party but still required a lot of time and logistic. Good thing is that my sister in law is here to help us.

I will post an entire post about the party but for now I think I need to go to bed because tomorrow is the big day!

I'm very excited!!!
