Our family headed to Florida for a week around Thanksgiving this year. I have to admit that it was really one of the most relaxing and fun weeks we have had in a while. Tobin spent the majority of the time playing with the kids... from Transformers, to trains, to ninja fighting, to play-dough, to building with blocks! He loved the one on one with the kids, and the kid at heart really shined!
The cousins, like always, acted like they had just seen each other yesterday. Isa proudly announced that Andrew was her best friend. You could often hear her saying "Andrew, I love you" or "Andrew come play with me". It was so cute. They played everything together.
Will and Aidan are like 2 peas in a pod. They really enjoyed each others company and they seldom fought over anything. Will became a pro on the computer's Cool School system. We even caught him writing rhyme words all on his own!
Ah... Gabi. Gabi's best friend on the trip was the dog Pepper. She even exclaimed once all on her own "Doggie, I love you". I was a little sad... this was her first time saying I love you directly to somthing on her own using their name! =) It was too cute though. Gabi was a little trooper keeping up with everything her older siblings and cousins were doing. She is one of pack!
Abuelita was more than thrilled to have all her grandchildren in one house again. She dotes on them and loves to hear them laugh.
Tobin and I had a marvelous time with Monika and Arnold. We spent long hours talking, watching movies and playing with the kids. No real commitments and just a whole lot of bonding time. Perfect!
