More from the family party

The fairy turned out to be quite popular as well particularly when she did face painting and balloon animals. The kids then enjoyed playing with each other for quite some time. Big thank you to Grandma CeCe and others for organising and setting up the party.

Family reunion party

We had a big party where family and friends gathered to chat, eat and enjoy each other's company. It was a fun and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Lots of people also got to have cuddles with EV who unsurprisingly proved to be quite popular.

Maya's Taqueria and the park

We went to Maya's Taqueria for lunch and were lucky to see some mariachi performing. We were not the only ones to take photographs though. We also had fun playing at the local park.

A celebration of Papi's life

We were very lucky to be able to attend a gathering with so many of our family and friends to remember Papi after his passing. We were all lucky to have shared a part of our lives with him in various ways, and we were all richer for it. It is great to see that his passion has been passed on to his grandchildren, including his appreciation for public transport. It was a wonderful gathering with lots of people all of whom had some great stories to tell. We all appreciated the opportunity to remember Papi with each other. Big thank you goes out to Grandma CeCe and others for organising the event and giving everyone the chance to say good bye.

More people arrive

We had a quiet morning relaxing at Grandma CeCe's house before more people arrived. By the end of the day there were heaps of people we got to see. The girls took it all in stride and managed to be cheerful and gracious all day.

More visiting with Cheryl

We got to spend more time with Cheryl and got to look through some of her old photographs. It was so interesting seeing her, Eric, family and friends when they were younger. Cheryl also generously gave us Christmas gifts which we all had fun opening together.
