Happy Birthday to Us!

Estas son las Mananitas,

que cantaba el Rey David,

hoy por ser dia de tu santo,

te las cantamos a ti.

Despierta mi bien despierta mira que ya amanecio,

y las pajaritos cantan,

la luna ya se metio.

We had such a good and much needed long weekend! We also celebrated the birthdays of my Twinkie sisters and I. Mine was last week while theirs is this week. It's so nice to share birthday months so that we can all get together and have one big party for the three of us. It also makes it easier for the family to get together.

Let me tell you about the food. My Mom and Grandma decided to have a little competition against each other with the different types of meat they made for the sopes. If you don't know what sopes are, here is a picture of how they can look like:

My Mom and Grandma's looked like these, but with rice into the mix!

It was all soooooo good! Although both meats were good, I think my Mom won because hers was spicy and had a kick to it. Yum!

Brandon didn't know where to start. =)

We opened gifts and just laughed and enjoyed the time we had together. My Dad even got us a gift because he's so sweet and thoughtful. Here's our gift.....

Okay, so he really doesn't give these out as gifts. He actually found these chonies at a segunda and uses them for fake gifts. It makes for a funny joke though. 

Louie got his Aggie hoodie from my Tia Esthela and of course, Brandon calls himself "The Runnin' Ute". It's a fun picture. 

I wish I could make this picture bigger, but I can't without having funky pixels come out. To walk off the food we just ate, we went to the new little boutique shop that just opened up a little over a week ago. They have so many cute things and the prices are very, VERY reasonable! The owners were so nice that they gave each of us two roses for our birthday. My sister posted this picture on the boutique's webpage. You can find the boutique's webpage here.

After we got home, we had some delicious cake that my Mom made for us. 

It was a chocolate cake with chocolate chips and banana filling in the middle. So, so good. 

All in all, it was a great weekend. I love my family and grateful to have them.
