What a fantastic day we had at the beach with Rebecca and Abuelita joining us for a special summer outing. So fortunate to be able to enjoy the waves, tide pools, sand and sun together.

Abuelita took the kids on a special outing to Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena, complete with their own heartfelt picnic lunches. They pretended they were ants, painted a giant leaf, and even got to pet a gecko! Thank you Abuelita!

Today, we went to Underwood Family Farms in Somis with Abuelita, Grandpa, Rebecca and Tia Suzi to pick blueberries. We had such a fantabulous time. Alex and Rebecca got to pet the animals in the petting area and play in the play area. Thank you for a wonderful day.
This past Saturday, Abuelita and Tia Suzi hosted a fabulous tea party to shower Olive (and mommy) with love and support. Mommy had such a wonderful time with family and friends at the Scarlett Room in Pasadena. We ate the most delicious scones and tea sandwiches and drank some flavorful teas. Mommy can't wait to go with Daddy and Alexander. Abuelita surprised everyone with a real tea leaf reader too (she's the one with the fancy big hat)! We had such a wonderful and memorable time. Thank you for the personalized favors with the really good teas and cute teapot cookies. It was all so nicely done and such a special event. Thank you very much Abuelita and Tia Suzi and to all our guests for the presents.
Today we celebrated our Chavarela Christmas at Abuelita & Grandpa's. Since all except Tia Lisett & Tio Nick are going to be out of town this year, the day was packed with lots of things to do! We started with visiting Aaron and putting up a lil tree for him (Abuelita had left the cherub there 2 weeks before!) Then headed over to the Annual VFW Holiday Party where Santa Claus made a surprise appearance! and then to the house where Alexander & Rebecca made the traditional press-cookies from Abuelita's favorite recipe for the first time!! Both kids caught on very quickly and are destined to be great helpers in the kitchen, especially now that AAA has an honest to goodness chef's jacket with his name engraved! and Rebecca got a (toy) kitchen where they can practice!
on March 11, 2011, there's a post called construction at the park. and on August 24, 2011, our local park was finally officially re-opened with a fantastic new playground for kids of all ages! Abuelita came with us to celebrate and she and daddy colored with Alexander and one of the booths.
