Cookie Man took this picture of Michelangelo "La Pieta" while on our honeymoon. Truly a magnificent piece of work!

Celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

This has got to be my most favorite feast day to celebrate!! I grew up going to church at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church.  Every year we would wake up to attend the morning "mañanitas"!


Play this video to hear Las Mananitas!

I have the best memories as a child attending the grand celebration!

Today the littles made Juan Diego Tilmas. 

We got the directions from this website but I made ours "Momma Friendly"!

(I cut out flowers with one of my punches!) 

The kids just simply glued their flowers around the Image of the Virgen.

 

 UNO and TRES showing off their tilmas.

(DOS fell asleep before the picture)

 

Last year, my mom..."Wela" had Our Lady of Guadalupe Aprons made for her and her granddaughters!

(She says for making tortillas and tamales!)

TRES posing in an OLG apron her "Wela" made for her.

(I'm thinking I need one too!)

After dinner we had Chocolate and Pan Dulce...

reliving another childhood memory!

VIVA LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE!

Celebrating the 4th!

We went to the Dodger/Diamondback game on Friday night.

UNO, DOS and TRES passed out on the way back to the hotel...

We stayed at a resort in Scottsdale

UNO said..."mommy can I climb a tree?",
odd...I didn't realize he had never climbed a tree before in all his 3 1/2 years of life!!
I said..."You sure can!"

TRES...chillaxin in the shade!

ME...finally in a picture on the blog!!!

Sunday morning already back home...
Red, White and Blue Pancakes for breakfast!

I forgot my camera so I was unable to take pictures at the fireworks show BUT it was awesome!


Enjoy the fireworks show...compliments of Fred Astaire!

Hope your 4th was relaxing like ours was!
