A couple of weeks ago Mike and I woke up bright and early to make it to baby Castillo's baby blessing. It was like a mini family reunion! I love the joy that new babies bring. Everyone gathers together to celebrate such a small but important little human. I'm a sucker for baby blessings. Specially the part were the dad holds up the baby in front of the pulpit with a big smirk on his face. My Tia Mary made Posole, one of my favorite dishes, and man was it delicious. She had to make enough for two huge families. I have no idea how she cooks so much and yet it's just as bit delicious. She is one talented cook.

Sleeping beauty. I think she looks a lot like her dad but my aunt says she looks just like mommy.
Marsix had the pregnancy glow through out her pregnancy. When I think of pregnancy I think of being hot and having swollen ankles but this girl made pregnancy and birth look like a stroll in the park. She was so brave that she had her baby at her house. They had planned to do a water birth at home but by the time they had filled up the pool baby Vanellope had already arrived. No complication and a healthy baby.
It was such a fun weekend to hang out with the family. My aunt and uncle had to work that night so it was just Alex and Marsix and Mike and I at home. We had a great time playing board games, eating junk food, watching movies and catching up on life well into the late hours of the night. We love hanging with these two and wish them the best at parenthood.
Aww I think that's wonderful you got to come down for the special occasion. I think she looks just like her mommy, so cute!
