Fiesta

The first thing the kids wanted to do was to wear their swimsuits that we showed them on skype. We put on their suits and sat down to color big Dora and Diego coloring pages. They had so much fun just coloring and stopping to stare at us all. We pulled out some toys and they just melted into our family. Dayne and Diego went into the bedroom and started wrestling and jumping on the bed. He is a strong little bugger. We had been telling DAyne he needs to be gentle with the little guy...but seeing Diego go after Dayne..I was a little afraid for Dayne. Diego has NO FEAR. They jumped and played and were total boys. Yerly sat with the girls and we painted her finger nails and told her we were hungry and needed to eat her belly...a nana tradition. She loved that and kept asking for more...more! Yerlywanted to wear her princess dress and crown all night. Diego kept changing his "DIEGO" underwear and running around in his skivvies. We all wrestled on the bed...watched Disney while wearing Mamas sunglasses and ate chocolate in bed.

They ate 2 yogurts each and 2 jellos. We ordered pizza and found out that Diego doesn't like pizza. Yerly ate hers but Diego chose grapes, an apple and bread.

That night we had 3 hotel rooms...thankfully they are at adoption rate which is relatively cheap. The staff did not want to give us 2 rooms...so Olivia and Gretta have a room, Mike,Dayne and Diego have a room and then Yerly, Ella and myself are in the suite. We gave lots of kisses goodnight and the boys went to their room and olivia and gretta to theirs.

Ella and Yerly and I got into our king size bed. She grabbed her new blankie we brought for her, got her new puppy...covered herself up and laid down with a smile... We turned out the lights but left the tv on. Yerly grabbed my neck and snuggled. SHE WOULD NOT LET GO. For 45 minutes she clung to me...face to face...kissing me over and over and over..staring into my eyes. It was so surreal. Until she went to sleep.

Mike tells me Diego was a little wild in the other room. Dayne and Diego slept in a bed, Mike in another. They turned out the lights, but Diego kept turning on the radio and poking Dayne. He did end up falling asleep and when I went to peekat him in the morning he was upside down in bed...fast asleep. We had to wake him up for breakfast. Yerly woke up while I was in the sitting room...she called to Ella...Mami mami..donde esta mami...I came running in and she had a huge smile and hug waiting.
