Day 9- Mami's Birthday

All the adults woke up early to sing happy birthday to Mami at 5:15am.  They were still sleeping even though Papi had to go to work, he didn't hear his alarm because we all had gone to bed so late and he has to wake up so early to get to the ranch.
While everyone was cleaning up and getting ready for the day, Quique was playing marbles with the kids to keep them busy.  They all had fun and really enjoyed it. Then Maami put some music on and the kids were dancing.  It was so cute.  Santiago kept calling Isabel 'mi senorita"!  ahahhhaaha  He really liked her and hardly left her side.  Gaby and Laila were always together then Isabel had several who didn't want to leave her.  Hiram told me that Isabel was his favorite cousin, how cute.  Then Andre and Vanessa said how much they like Isabel because she is so nice.  Lili and Vanessa were inseparable too.  It was fun to see each cousin have a best friend cousin.  That's what it's all about......all the cousins growing up being close and good friends, even though we live so far away, it's still possible.  We really appreciate all the sacrifices that Angel and AnaLaura's families sacrificed so we all could be together for the whole time we were there.  It was really great!  We got to play lots of games together too, which was a lot of fun, even with all the cheating going on!
In the evening, we went to a really nice restaurant to celebrate mommy's birthday today.  It was delicious! While we were there, there were several people/families that showed up to the restaurant to eat that everyone knew.  So it was a bit of a reunion too.  It was pretty cool. Happy Birthday Mami!  Thanks for all you do for us and thank you for loving us so much!  We love you to the moon and back!
