For the 4th we FINALLY caught up with my best friend Sarah and her family. It was about time! We went over to their house, played outside with the kids, grilled burgers and hot dogs, played board games (a little different than our board game nights of the past!), waited out the rain and even caught a great fireworks show. It was a fun evening.
Jackson and Sebastian sang Happy Birthday to America.
Matteo had his "all American" meal - hot dogs, pasta salad, corn, watermelon and cupcakes.
The kids loved playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos. I didn't remember that game being so loud when I was a kid....geesh!
We went to Avalon Park for the awesome fireworks display with Sarah, Nathan, the kiddos and all my family too.
Sebastian thought it was nice for about 2 minutes and then he was done and wanted to leave to go to sleep. It was a very long, napless day for him so he didn't enjoy them as much as we hyped them up...maybe next year?
Matteo enjoyed watching and saying "ahhh!" when they got really bright.
Earlier in the week we went to my mom's to see Logan and let the kids play. Sebastian is so happy to see Angelica often again.
That is one very happy Abu (great-grandma) with all of her grandchildren. And there is another one coming in September - my cousin Olgita is having a girl!!
We had a special visit from Tio Mauricio the past few weeks too and he got to meet Logan for the first time. Hope he come back again soon!
A few weeks ago, we went to Jackson's 4th birthday party - it was our first bowling party and Sebastian loved it! We watched lots of bowling videos and explained the whole concept to him before hand, so he was pretty excited. I think he was surprised by how heavy the balls were!
Matteo was pretty sleepy since he missed his nap. He cuddled with Mami and the baby in my tummy a lot instead of bowling...
Bowling with Daddy.
He loved licking the frosting off of the dinosaurs from the cake. =)
Later we went to the park to celebrate my cousin and god-daughter's 9th (!) birthday. They had fun with a pinata. Also Sebastian's first - he now wants one for his upcoming birthday party...
He played games with all the big kids.
And loved getting prizes for "winning."
Angelica with all her friends.
With Titi, Abu and Sebastian.
Matteo finally took his nap so Daddy got comfortable too.
The boys helped their cousin open presents.
Matteo wanted to "try on" all the clothing gifts. Too funny.
Later that night we went to Chilis and Angelica enjoyed her special birthday dessert.
With my baby.
