Merry Christmas

Hope everyone has a merrrry christmas! It's so exciting that this will be Ellies third christmas! I'm kind of sad though thinking that she's already been in our lives for threeee whole years! We are really strengthening our christmas traditions especially the usual santa visit on Christmas eve surrounded by plenty of family, as well as additional present opening on christmas morning with just me, ellie and davin. What does everyone have planned!? I'd love to know what you all are doing to celebrate the holidays!

Candddyy

This year for ellie's bday we are throwing her a candy shoppe themed party! I was originally inspired by Dylan's Candy Bar which is an upscale candy shop in NYC owned by the daughter of Ralph Lauren. Its super cute a colorful which I love and since ellie has quite the sweet tooth I thought what would be better than lots and lots of CANDY.

Some inspiration:




I've already begun working on some decor including some really cute streamers. I'm thinking of setting up a little photo booth with dress up clothes and other accessories. My sister Yvette (Ellies' Godmother) already purchased a TON of candy for the party which is exciitting! I love love love planning my little ones party and look forward to the outcome!

We've decided to have the party on the 23rd of January as it is the weekend after Cassy's baby shower and also allows for a nice recovery from the holidays. I'm hoping the invites will be done SOON but that all depends on my brother RAMON who I asked 3 months ago to design me some invites! HINT HINT! While on the topic of invites, I took some shots of ellie in preparation of putting them together (as well as provide a starting point for my ever so dependable brother). Here is a sneak peak:





Anyways, enough for now! I don't want to make this post super duper long. If I don't sign on before Xmas... have a good one y'aaalllllll

T-Day

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving as much as we did! We drove into El Paso around 4am on T-day morning, woke up around 9, and enjoyed the traditional Grandma Leche breakfast special: pancakes!!




We ate our Thanksgiving dunch (lunch+dinner) around 3... all my aunts and uncles were there and a good chunk of my cousins.






After our meal, we took the opportunity to take some family pictures!



That was pretty much our day. It was nice to be around so many family members, pick pecans with the little kids, watch the cowboys game while listening to my aunt scream and yell, watch home videos, and of course eat lots and lots of pumpkin pie!

The only con: Ellie and Haley got sick with the croup! Haley went to the ER Thursday night and Ellie went Friday night. I swear I don't think I slept but 10 hours for three days (didn't sleep in the car, did the black friday thing, took ellie to the ER). They are both better now. The croup was primarily from the climate change. Speaking of climate change... it freakin' snowed the day after we left!!!! WAH!!! Thats okay, it is expected to snow here on Friday however, if theres one thing I've learned its that the weatherman is always wrong.

Okay, its time for bed... only 9 more days until graduation!!!
