Abuelita Turns 91 and She Still Parties Like a Rockstar

This past weekend, we took a quick trip to LA to celebrate Abuelita's 91st birthday. Listen, she may be really old but the woman parties like no other. She had three parties in one week and two of them were in the same weekend. The woman has stamina! We all had a great time celebrating her ninth decade plus one year of life! Our weekend together consisted of food, fun, birthday cake, and pictures. The pictures below are from our Saturday celebrations but let it be known that the night before, Abuelita had a celebratory dinner with Aunt Teri, Tia Sonia, Nana, Izzy B, myself.

Below, Meter begins the antics at Porto's:

Nay Nay was also able to join in the mayhem:


Can you believe we've known each other for nineteen years? Crazy.

Sam's current favorite trick is making his thumb disappear...Below, Meter gives him some fiesty competition on who can make their thumb disappear faster:

Some silliness with Tia Sonia and Meter:


After eating lunch at Porto's, we headed to Palmdale for Elan's soccer game. They lost but we had a good time watching.

Here is a picture of Rey, the coolest thirteen-year-old in the world.


And here's Bell looking "windblown":


Bosom buddies:


I'm not sure what was so funny but these lauhing ladies are cracking up:

Once the game was over, we went to Mama's house for dinner and cake. Below are a series of family shots with the birthday girl:
