Hey girl HEY! this is stephanie, and i am here reporting from cuernavaca. The flights coming into mexico went quite smoothly...actually a little tooooo smoothly... i arrived to mexico city with only my purse and camera! i had to check a wheel chair and two carry-on, which i was surprised that i was able to do since there was an embargo. so i got to cuernavaca empty handed.Once in cuernavaca we went straight to a posada and ate, danced and sang (poorly). We were all pretty tired and i was ready for bed. we got back to the house around 11pm and slept in the next day. we all went to a cute cafe called Molienda were we had breakfast and picked up some sweets for christmas. Nicholas and Larissa have really improved on their spanish and are speaking
quite fluently. I am not going to lie, but mexico feels different. Maybe its because its not summer, but either way i am very happy to be here! Gee Gee is defintely a breath of fresh air! she is so playful and easy going. Xoch is still the same old bitty, but she was excited to see me. If you yell "Go Get Her!" Xoch will run after Gee Gee all around the yard until she gets tired, which is about two laps around. Later on in the evening, nicholas larissa and i went downtown to do some last minute christmas shopping for mom and dad. we walked around and they showed me around to some places i have never been. I got to see where larissa practices the bass and where nicholas practices break dancing-but i have yet to see him bust a move. Later on in the night the three of us went up the street to the church and then went around the see the posadas. There were a couple of pinatas being wacked at down the street and we stayed around to grab some fruit. Mom stayed home with dad because she had a major case of the runs. poor girl. At one point in the night she actually ran to the bathroom claiming "I POOPED MY PANTS!" we were nervous for the long drive the next morning to El Ajusco. We woke up the next day and got ready to go for a christmas eve get-together at Tio Jorge's house. On our way we went back to the airport and picked up my luggage and then headed up the mountain. We got there tired and hungry and so we ate some at Jaime's house and then took a nap while the kids hung out. Later on, around 9 we all gathered in Tio Jorge's house and s
tarted to talk and get our drink on ( and by 'our' i mean our cousins ). We finally got to eating around 1130pm. the dinner consisted o
f turkey, greenbeans, romeitos with
mole, cranberry sauce, and lots of fish dishes and some desserts afterwards. Then we proceeded to open gifts from the family and we finally went to bed around 2am. The next morning we woke up, had breakfast and were on our way back to cuernavaca to have christmas dinner at our house with tia, jose, jose, sergio and his girlfriend. We had the same kind of food and more desserts. We ate, told lots of jokes (thanks to Sergio and his many voices) mainly of poop and farts. we were hoping that the evening would last later into the evening but they have alll left and its only 730pm and it feels like midnight... i feel like i'm getting old because all i want to do is sleep. I think its just my vacation time setting in. Oh, and i almost forgot, for christmas we decorated the font tree with mini pinatas, it looks really cute. we have a lot of eating to do, and im sure we'll fill up the time while i'm here. i have not seen any of my friends , but maybe for new years i will go to DF. and i'm excited because there is going to be a wedding on the 28th across the street. i have a feeling we are going to get CRUUUUUUNKED

I love it. Thank you Steph. I'm sure mom is thrilled that you told the world about her "I pooped my pants!" incident.
