Celebrate the Weekend

Juan finished his finals last week so we had a weekend of CELEBRATING before he starts his independence study classes this week. This is how we celebrate.

With food!
Juan's favorite cake lately is Tres Leches. It was very interesting and difficult to make but it was SO DELICIOUS. If you have never had Tres Leches, order it at your local Mexican Restaurant pronto (even Cafe Rio has a good one). And if you love it like us, make a whole pan for yourselves! I just used the recipe on allrecipes.com.

We also celebrated by going to my nephew's play. This was Amelia the whole time in reaction to the loud music and clapping:
Fear and confusion mixed into one?

And we went on a shopping spree for our girl with the money my co-workers kindly gave us. Amelia is totally model-posing to show off her new clothes:


Such a fun and relaxing weekend! And seriously, go make that cake now. I can't stop thinking about it.

That cake does look really good. I will have to give it another chance. The only time I had it was years ago when Tanya made it for a bbq, it was disgusting.

The confused look is so great in the play. Her facial expression are so great. She doesn't have a problem with telling you what she is thinking without talking.
