Recap of 2016!!!!

January: My girls started ballet and hip hop. We walked a 7k marathon at church.

February: We celebrated Valentines Day.

March: I don't remember anything for March.

April: it was a busy and a hard month.  The girls did their First Communion and had their first dance recital.  Also we received two bad news: our school administrators  announced they were closed school for August.  That means,  we had to look for a new school for the girls and I need a new job.  Also,  by the end of April my dad passed away.

May: We celebrated Mother's day,  the end of the semester and the girls participated in another dance recital.

June: Was my last month of work.  Both girls enjoyed two different summer camps  (2 weeks  each).

July: The best month!!! We celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. Went to World Disney World with the whole family. While we were at WDW I received a job offer and accepted it that means,  we also have a school for the girls.  Also,  my girls celebrated their coronation day at our town. It was a wonderful time for them.

August: The month began with my birthday and my first day of work at a new school. On August 4, my babies started 5th grade, wow!! Also in August we celebrated my mom's and Pablo's birthday. We went to the very first activity for the girls as a queen's.

September: The worst month because after a long month of work we were anxious to had a long weekend. Besides all the school work,  tests and homework, we survived.  By the end of the month we celebrated my sister birthday.

October: My favorite month because my babies turned 10!!! Can't believe they had a decade with us. We celebrated on their actual day as a family in Chuck and Cheese. They had a blast.

November: It means lots of school activities. I'm a kindergarten teacher and we had a Thanksgiving feast.  It was simple but my kids enjoyed it.

December: Hallelujah!!!! It means three weeks until Christmas break,  woo-hoo.  Again, lots of school work,  homework and tests. Also, we enjoyed our break.

Hoping to be better blogging in 2017.

Happy New Year!!!

Annie

November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, only eight Friday's for Christmas!!! During the last two weeks of October we were so busy with school and dance. Besides the clows "issues" we did Halloween but it was a disaster just five houses gave candies. Last Saturday, we went to the movies and saw Trolls and had a great time.

Just five days of November and I have to say that I'm looking forward for a couple of days without school and work. Today we went to the movies again and saw Dr. Strange. I highly recommend it, both girls enjoyed it.

Two parties!!!

Today we went to Pablo's Christmas party and to our niece birthday party. It was a busy day but fun.

Our main goal was to sleep in and thanks God it happens. Everyone woke up at 11:45 am almost noon. We enjoyed a yummy brunch and got ready to Pablo's Christmas party.

The party was amazing and the place had pool, areas for playing and a bouncing house. A perfect place for kids. The food was so good. We got rice, pork, salad, pastel (is a mixed of meat, potatoes and green bananas, is the best how I can explain) and dessert.

After his party we headed to my niece birthday party. Her party was simple but everyone had a great time. Because we were at the other party we missed dinner with the birthday girl.

When we arrived home had a snack and then I decided it was a great moment to for ironing. I mean, it's not my favorite thing to do but someone has to tackle it and we all are going back to the routine this week, boo.
