Contreras Journey: Cumpleanos filled weekend

Every year Erik's Uncle Bob and Auntie Gloria come to Guadalajara to visit the family that lives here. Well, and us too...at least we like to think;) It's been super fun for us to be part of the fun while we're living here! They come every March for two weeks and are here for Uncle Bob's birthday.......so it's a BIG fiesta. SO much fun! He does SO much for the family here, it's amazing......so, in return they literally treat him like a KING, and wait on him and and foot while he's here. This year we had Uncle Bob's birthday party on friday night and then we had Alejandra's Quincinieta on saturday night! Muchas fiestas:) Lot's of family, Mariachi's, tequila, and dancing! TRUE mexican parties! SO much fun for us! Uncle Bob also shares his birthday with David, Alfonso's youngest so the kids had tons of fun breaking a pinata as well. It's crazy how big of a deal the quincinieta is here for mexican families. Wow. It's like a wedding, minus the groom! So fancy! This was our third one we've been to since we've lived here. I LOVE them and would love for Halle to have one someday.....and trust me, she would LOVE to have one too~she's so cute. She tells me all the time now...."Mom, I want to be a quincinieta girl too!"...the other day we were at the carwash and she was looking through a Miss Quince magazine and was telling me the color of dress she wants....she liked the pink one;) Her and Costa were so in awe of it all and absolutely LOVED the dancing part! They wanted to be on the dance floor all night long! The birthday girl put on an amazing show for everybody....she took lessons and learned the tango and the waltz....and had her cousins and her brothers dance with her. Amazing......she was SO beautiful! It was a super fun CUMPLEANOS filled weekend!

Hallers loves her Uncle Bob:)
