We spent Thanksgiving week with Kad's family in Florida, as we usually do. However, this year was special because it was Gabriella's first time visiting her Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. We had a great, busy week....filled with fun, friends, family, and of course food. ;) Since we don't get to see them very often, we were sure to take LOTS of pictures. (So I apologize in advance for the tons of photos on this post, haha).
The cousins in the back seat: Gabriella, Jessica, Jeremiah
This is the first time meeting them. She crawled up in their laps and wanted them to read to her. So sweet!
Kad and I took her to one of the MANY parks around town. She and Daddy especially had a blast. Mommy and Kruz took it easy...and took pictures. By the way....it was like 80 degrees daily!
Approaching her first tunnel... it was a success!
Gettin' ready to slide
Swingin' and smilin'
Climbing with Daddy's help
My FAVORITE picture!
Hangin' around
On Mommy's shrinking lap
Gotta cool off with a pina colada from a nearby mom 'n pop place
"Helping" Jeremiah set up his sax
Sharing her 'babies' with Abuelo
Resting for a picture...we took a long walk through downtown St. Pete...so pretty
Posing by a super cool tree we found downtown. (Kad's dad climbed way up there w/in seconds...you're only as old as you feel!)
Hanging with Daddy by the water (too close for Mommy's comfort-it's a drop)
She ran and ran and ran through this pretty bayside park where we picniced and played
Enjoying a beautiful day!
A day at the beach. Walking with Cousin Jessica.
She wanted to go in the water. (We didn't)
Running along the beach with Abuelo :)
She wanted to play frisbee with Daddy
A great beach day with the cousins
Mommy, Gabriella, and baby Kruz (7 mo. pregnant)
Our family on the beach
Isn't ice cream a must when in Florida?
This swing overlooked the water, in a park where we had lunch. The kids sat perfectly still while swinging...for over 15 minutes! Gabriella was about to fall asleep, haha.
Loving it!
Just us
Kad found this really cool place while just driving along. G got to watch the birds getting fed- she loved it.
I adore this baby face. She's laughing b/c she was running from me, haha
Don't bracelets go on your feet?
Happy Thanksgiving!!
On Thanksgiving day
Gabriella's favorite spot in the house: this step. Up, down, up, down...
In her Thankgiving dress
We're stuffed!
Kad's dad, brother Mag, Kad, and his mom
Gabriella wanted a taste of my sparkling grape juice. What a face! She actually wanted more after this, haha
If you've got pretty legs...
She instantly loved Tio Mag!
Kisses for Tia Damaris!
Jessica showing her all of the flowers outside
We got to open presents early. Look, she even got Elmo paper!
Love this outfit, so had to get pics ;)
Placing her new dolly...by her hair
The sweetest baby in the world
Getting ready to say goodbye :(
How cute are they?
A Mendoza Thanksgiving (it's Black Friday and I was up at 4 am...whew)
At one of our MANY stops on the ride home. It should have taken no more than 8 hours. Because of T-giving traffic, college football games, and several accidents, it took us 13. Lord, help us! Although G only slept for an hour, she did great.
