I love chill nights at the Buensalidas. They are just so welcoming & nurturing, and so generous with their love, time, AND FOOD! <3 And their house is the only one big enough to accommodate all 4 families. And we are 22! ;))

So we just bring food or whatever we can contribute to a night of fun & eating!! I swear, every time I leave their company, I have trouble breathing with all the food & drinks we consume!

Hungry gators! I love how the kids are becoming like siblings to one another already in such a short span. They truly love one another & are just so comfortable with each other, no matter the different age brackets! <3

2 boxes are NEVER enough for the kids! ;))

Ate Marita’s yummy oatmeal-walnut-raisin cookies. Love-Love-Love!!! <3

Ate Marita’s famous nachos. They are really FANTABULOUS!!!

Just look at all the toppings!!! Too bad my camera didn’t want to cooperate last night! 🙁

2 more orders of pizza to feed ALL hungry gators!!! ;P

and pasta for the oldies! 😉

Korean chicken, also from ate Marita’s recipe! <3

Even the oldies have fun! 😉 With or without alcoholic beverages!

Because there’s just so many things to do at the Buensalidas! m/

And have I mentioned ate Marita’s halo-halo special?? OMG!!! Just looking at her wondrous concoction makes me 10 lbs. heavier, I swear!

This is why all the kids love her so much! Her & kuya Rolly! ;))

My very special halo-halo!!! <3

I’m so happy my kids finally found people they love & people who love them in return! <3

I hope we have many more fun nights at the Buensalidas!! In fact, we’re on our way there now -it’s WENG-WENG night! GTG! ;))
