My Abuelos visit my school

27 Apr

Last week Abuelo and Abuela visited Seattle and came to my school!

They brought wonderful cuban snacks from Portos Bakery in Los Angeles and read to the class.

We tried Refugiados (guava and cheese pastries) and Pastel de Pollo (chicken pie!)

The book El Alfabeto Cubano is one of my favorites!

(Sitting next to my girl Audrey):

I was so proud to show off my grandparents to my amazing friends and to show them my school.

Even Annabel enjoyed herself and didn’t want to leave!

Gracias Abuelo y Abuela!

My 1st Dance Recital

25 Apr

Today was my first ever dance recital – a wonderful 2 hour affair where all the wonderful classes from my dance studio perform. I got to mingle with the adult and kid dancers backstage. I’m pretty proud of me and my friends. (Troy just turned 4 like me and Raffi is 3).

Here is our tap number:

Here is our ballet number (It’s worth watching until the end for the exit antics…)

Miss Marlo put on an awesome show – we can’t thank her enough! Especially for including an all boys class in her line-up.

Tulip time again

14 Apr

Each year we attend the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and it is never disappointing!

If you love tulips, or pictures of me and my sister, click here for all 50 photos. Otherwise, here are a few of the best!

(this is a picture of the tulips being ‘pulled’ after they’ve reached full bloom – workers pass through the rows and rip the heads off and toss them in the dirt!)

Do we do this every year? Does my mom ever tire of taking pictures of tulips?

Dance Party

10 Apr

Everyone was tremendously happy with the fantastic dance party that I hosted! I told everyone all day that I wasn’t actually 4 until I blew out my candles and everyone sang to me.

Click here for the whole album or just check out the highlights below:

We’re anxiously awaiting our guests. The cake was ready:

I was so proud of my friends for not getting too crazy, we all ate our dinner, colored and enjoyed the cake too!

I’m so lucky to have such good friends (and thanks to the other grown-ups who helped my parents pull it off)
