Back...

Last Friday, Coco went to have tea with the girls in the family to a BEAUTIFUL SHOP called The Little Traveler in Geneva. It's like an old traditional place to visit, and it's the place to be for any girly girl. I was suposed to go, too, but I had a last minute job to do, so I had to miss the tea party. I arrived for the SHOPPING part. WOW! That's probably the GIRLIEST place I've EVER seen in my life! But we absolutely enjoyed it! Coco bought a tea set for her very first sleep over with one of her girlfriends, Elizabeth. I'm not quite sure who was more excited, her or myself, but we really enjoyed chosing the set she would buy.

Coco and Meghan

Noni, Coco, Ashley and Auntie-Grandma Kathy


While we were there, I found a beautiful cabinet that had all sorts of Lladro figurines. I had to take a picture. Lladro figurines always remind me of Grandma. She used to have this hand carved mahogany cabinet where she kept all her Lladro collection. Her favorites were the ballerinas... They are probably not my style, but I absolutely LOVE the memories they bring to me. Maybe one of these days I will get myself a ballerina, and make a little glass box for it, just to think and be reminded of my Abuelita Paula.


And then, the sleep over. Coco and Elizabeth had such a blast! We had races down the stairs on a sleeping bag. We had pedicures, and make overs, and scary stories... and OF COURSE, the tea party!



Yesterday we had a chance to go outside for the first time in a LONG time!Connor was trying to learn, and Coco was trying to teach, but in the end, I think Connor found it a lot more amusing to throw his tricycle down the driveway



And my sister Hilda came over to visit with her son Gustavo. Taking these pictures was REALLY fiun, Gus HATES my camera! I love these kind of candid pictures...
Thanks for the visit, sister, I just hope that next time you can stay awake LONGER than 2 hours! (she's getting OLD. She fell asleep from 4 to 8, so she came to snore on my couch! We couldn't even listen to the TV!!!) :)
Of course, I'm laughing thinking of my sister's face when she reads these lines HAHAHA!!!
