Halloween

Halloween! a scary Time! Here in the office people love Halloween, so we entered for 2nd time the contest and we WON! We were a Hospital, there was blood, and body parts (fake of course) all over the place! we had a black light, and a strobe light! ohh yes, now you see why we won. I took my nice trick or treating, here at the offices, she got a LOT of candy, and was dressed as a Dragon.
On the 1st is when people here go out trick or treating... Joaquin dressed ups as Chicky Bicentenario, since everything here is Bicentennial... hahaha... I actually got some candy, and was apparently very famous, every one wanted pictures, with the Mexican Chucky, Mariachi Chicky, Chukote... many names! We had some guayaba, and jam tamales, they were good, with some atole, ohh yes, DIET so close to the wedding!! ahhh.
Here are some pictures, enjoy....

Tepotzotlan

Day of the Dead! I love this day, skull, remembering loved ones, and special delicious bread! yummy!
Well we went to see the "Ofrenda" that is put up on this special time at tepotzotlan, it's famous, and really big, the town is a "Magical Town" there are about 10 towns like this in Mexico. Very Colonial.
The church has gold all over the inside. It used to be a Convent, and now is a museum.
It was Joaquin, and Samuel's (15 days old baby) 1st visit to this Magical Town.

Slava's Snow Show

Well Wednesday, evening, trying to convince each other to go to the gym, we get a call from my friend Mariana, that her mom won some tickets to the show, and they had 2 extra ones, Joaquin and I got to go to "Teatro, Centro Telmex" which was nice too because it was really close to our house. We didn't get traffic to get there, it's a very interactive show. we were cough in a huge spider web, there was snow, and rain... here are some pictures of the show... so yes, Joaquin did not see the 1st game of the world series... It might have been better since he was thinking TX would be winning... ups Score was SF 11 - TX 7.

Bridal Shower take 2

Another Bridal shower, that was so much fun. My co-workers arranged a Bridal Shower for me, it was so much fun, we had great food (Argentinian' at the grill) salads, and a delicious cake! We paid some games, and I received some great advise from the attendees... I am sure I will put to use. Joaquin showed up with some wonderful flowers, and I liked the advise that was given to me from a daughter of my supervisor... "He should always give me flowers" that is great advise. We received place mats, really nice place mats... I guess we like to eat! hahaha and they know. It was a lot of fun.

And there is a new baby here! My cousin Celvia had a Baby Boy this past Friday at 10pm! He is really cute, and very calm as of this Sunday that I got to see him. Here are some pictures of the baby... his name is Samuel Uriel, weight 6.9 lbs. has a cute little nose, and tinny mouth.

Lot's of fun, and Lot's of eating,,, back to the gym!
