We are in Mexico...Day 1

Before you do anything, you have to look at this video! You will laugh...
It is really my grandma dancing! Man shes almost 90, but she can move! She is so cute! She is so funny, and once in a while she will get a little crazy and start dancing just like in the video! She was sick for a while, to the point where she couldnt even talk or walk. But look at her now! Im glad she is doing good.
Day 1 in Empalme, Sonora. Mexico
So we got here at around 7 p.m. They had an engagement party for my cousin Diana and her boyfriend. They will be getting married in April. We also had a pinata because it was my cousin Bettys birthday. They had a mariachi for 5 hours it was great! We had a really good time with family. Its only the beginning.
Here are my cousin Diana with her boyfriend Daniel having a good time.

Here are some of my cousins and my aunts.

A little gift I made for Tawnya!

Tawnya was our wedding photographer. She is a great person who helped us a lot during our wedding. She was funny, helpful, very nice that talked to everyone! All of my family loved her! Also, she was a little shocked of how Mexican weddings are! She was surprised at all the things we did. She had never seen many of the things we did in our wedding. I think she had a really good time, and she took wonderful pictures! I will post some of the pictures soon!

I decided to make her this frame to thank her. The frame matches her business logo, so I think it will look very nice in her office desk. But, its all up to her! Hope she likes it!

I am selling these frames and I can custom make them any colors, theme, you name it! Just let me know!

Merry Christmas!!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas eve, and we are having a wonderful Christmas day! Believe it or not, even on the morning of Christmas eve, I was still buying presents!!! I even wrapped them a couple of hours before opening! I know, such a late shopper! ;) I had received my check that same day, so that's I why we bought presents yesterday!

We went to church around 7, came back around 10 p.m. We ate dinner, hang out for a little and opened presents! We always play a game where each puts $1 and gives a guess of how many gifts under the tree. Who ever is the closest, wins the money! Its a tradition! I think the most gifts we've ever had was close to 200, but we had family over that time! This time, there were 93 gifts under the tree. My brother Javier was the closest! But being the nice brother he is, he gave the money to my youngest brother Daniel!

Yuliana, my niece got the most gifts of all!! But of course, she is the baby! I almost went broke buying her stuff! She probably has clothes for a whole year!

We all got very nice gifts! We had a really good time. We laughed a lot, talked, prayed, took pictures, hugs, kisses etc... xoxo... We had a great time as a family during this wonderful day, the birth of Jesus Christ. We always celebrate in big!

Here are some pictures that we took! Enjoy!

Look how beautiful Yuliana looked! She was our little Christmas gift!



Our first Christmas together as husband and wife!




Even Princess our chihuahua had her little Christmas gift!











So this was the last gift we gave to my parents! Finally after 9 months, we have our wedding pictures! I will post wedding pictures soon!

Getting ready for Christmas!!

Yesterday, my mom, sister, Yuliana and I got together at my moms house to make tamales! Its a tradition to make tamales this time of year! We only made about 6 dozens, so it was not bad. After making tamales to raise money for my sisters trip to France, let me tell you, I did not want to see tamales for a very long time!!! After almost 7 years, I finally see tamales again! We each have our job when making tamales! So we finish fast! So tonight my dear friends, we will be having tamales for dinner! Yummy! Even Yuliana at such a young age is learning how to make tamales! haha. ;)






After coming from my moms house, Eri and I wrapped presents. We both "suck" at wrapping presents! I mean big time! hahaha.. But I wrap them a little better than him.. hahaha... Here is a picture we took while wrapping presents! Not the best picture ever, but to give you an idea of how messy our living room was! We only wrapped 4 presents, got tired and went to bed! ;)

Yes.. I am a craft addict....

This morning I woke up around 9:30. I cleaned up a little from the Christmas Party we had yesterday, and created this beautiful "Clippie". (Thats how I named them because you clip on things).
I just cant stop making things! Thats right, Im a craft addict! haha... I really need to decorate my craft room. It is to plain. Im thinking of painting the room a turquoise color, but still not sure. I just want to make it more artsy looking! Right now, the room is half painted tan and half painted beige because my husband has not even finished this room. He blames me saying I did not wait, and put all of my craft stuff in the room. So now, he cant paint! Hes just funny! The "Clippie" turned out so cute. It is so colorful and stands out in the room a lot!
I have posted this item in my shop as a custom order. Meaning, I will custom make you this "Clippie" any colors you'd like!

You can use them as hair bow holders, hair clip holders, note holders, photo holders anything you can clip on!

If you would like one of these "Clippies", I will give you a discount for finding it in my blog.
Send me convo by etsy using code: SoCuteClippie
Discount: Free shipping only on this item!!!!

How great is that!

Please be sure to send me a convo on etsy first, so I can make a custom listing!

Christmas Party

This morning, while we were cleaning our house for the Christmas party, we heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door, and there was 3 of our neighbors daughters saying Merry Christmas and giving us cookies. One of them told us, my family and I made these for you! It was so cute! They are pretty young. They were really good chocolate chip cookies! Here is the picture of the plate of cookies they gave us.


We had our Christmas party today! It was really fun. We had a little over 40 guest! So it was a little crowded at times but really fun. For food we had carne asada tacos, rice, beans, ceviche, teriyaki chicken, crab cake, fruits, cheesecake and much more! It was a potluck party, so everyone brought something. The food was delicious! We had friends that had never been to our house and they liked it! Here are some pictures we took tonight!

Check out this first picture! Just lovely! We are all smiley, and Yuliana started crying!

Thanks to everyone who came over, and thanks for bringing the food! Hope you guys had a good time!
