Boda

Enrique's parents came to visit for a several days.  Their close friends' son got married last Thursday, so they came for that and stayed a few days longer.  We all went to the wedding reception.  It was a blast.  You gotta love Mexican fiestas!  They are unlike anything American by far and always the most fun you'd ever have. 
The reception started at 8pm.  We are all getting ready for a reception when in reality the kids are usually getting ready for bed, hahahaha.  But they all know and love fiestas!  They have been super excited to go to this reception.
We got there and ate dinner then the dancing started and didn't stop until 1:30am.  Gaby and Lili were still dancing til the end.  Isabel was done dancing around 11pm, she's the little 'gringa' for sure, hahaha.  After a while they got out the silly hats, masks, necklaces, blow things and party stuff.  The kids loved it. Isabel found some friends to play with while the rest of us were dancing. 
Once dance put me over the top and I couldn't dance any more.  I had several contractions that we had to stop for and the one dance I pulled a ligament and that's what did me in for the night, at like midnight-hahaha  That particular dance is my favorite too!  We go dancing fast around the dance floor and part of it involves a jump backwards and going forwards.  I should have known.  But it was super fun.
We got home at 2am.  Lili and Isabel fell asleep before we even left.  While they were saying their goodbyes, I took Lili and Isabel to the van to put their pj's on and they were sleeping before Enrique's parents were done saying goodbye. Gaby didn't fall asleep until she was in bed.  She was still excited about all the dancing.
Gaby loves to dance, especially at the receptions.  She was out on the dance floor by herself, with Papi, or with Abueltio, she didn't care.  That girl danced the whole night.  Then there's Lili, she loves dancing too but with Papi or Abuelito.  She would run out to the dance floor if she saw Papi or Abueltio, push their partner out of her way and make them dance with her!  It was hilarious to watch.  All in all, we had a wonderful evening.
