1st Birthday Party

The pumpkin and apple cake I made...

...I swear it was good! We later found out Mathias had an ear infection, which explains why he did not want to eat anything, not even his cake!

Much happier with his gift...

...and with his huge lion balloon.

On his first birthday

Thank you Trader Joe's for the balloon!

A Mexican Christmas (Continued)

In a small fishing village near Puerto Vallarta

Playing peekaboo in Sayulita with the abuelo Pedro


Relaxing after a tasty lunch (the homemade vanilla ice cream was delicious!)

The only one not tired...the little guy!

A Mexican Christmas -- much better than a white Christmas!

View from our balcony

Splish splash

Mathias did not like sand...no castle building this year!

Checking out our Christmas decorations

Long overdue...Thanksgiving fun!

Better than toys...tupperware!

Playing with Ines' old Berchet kitchen -- he loved it so much we had to buy him one for our house.

Obama, Obama, Obama!

It's a wonderful day! To a better future for all.
