Surprise Visit!

On the 4th of July weekend, my amazing sister and her wonderful family surprised me with a visit. It was loads of fun! I've been patient for four years (still can't believe I've been here for FOUR years) and it was well worth the wait!
We went to Santa Fe and ate at The Shed (very fun place) and spent some time looking around at the art and buildings. We also went to the zoo (albuquerque has a very good zoo... people who live here say they have a good aquarium too... not so).
Lizette and Claribel had so much fun playing together. Claribel loved it went Lizette would push her around in this cart she has.
They both looked adorable in 4th of July fashion attire- thanks to the handiwork of Melissa!
I just loved getting to spend so much time with my little niece!  One morning I woke up to see her sitting on my kitchen counter, next to her mother of course. I went up to her, gave her a big hug and said, "Claribel, I just love waking up and seeing you in my kitchen." "MMMMMmm, HHmmm." Was her reply! So adorable!  Lizette loved watching her cousin, and wanted anything she had... including her food!
And here's some funny faces Uncle Ray caught!
