This morning we put up the Christmas tree. Ismael helped put the ornaments on the tree, then off the tree so he could play with them. 
We made a Gingerbread house this afternoon from a Wilton kit... ok, I did it and Ismael tried to eat all the candies....
On the flight from San Diego to Atlanta, Ismael was invited to the cockpit by the pilot which he loved of course. The pilot even acknowledged him over the loudspeaker when he introduced himself during the flight.
Of course it didn't take long for his to find the lawn mower and insist on getting on...with the dog of course, his new best friend.
Lining up the piggy banks....
He gave a tour of the grounds on day, wanting a picture in front of everything. Here he is in front of the pool with the house in the background.
Here is Papá with Pelusa the dog, Ismael and Hugo the turtle. Ismael wanted to do everything with the dog, eat, sleep, watch tv, read books... From the moment he woke up to the moment he slept he wanted to know where Pelusa was.
This is Francisca the wonderful maid. Ismael always wanted to know what she was doing.
He also liked playing soccer with dog and sometimes even the turtle.
Los novios...Fernando (aka Funny boy per Ismael) and Pilar after the wedding in front of the church.
Mamá and Papá at the reception.
For Halloween Ismael picked out a Buzz Lightyear costume. They had a party at school, but as I expected he did not wear his costume for more than 5 minutes. At night we went to the mall to go trick-or-treating, and again, he would not wear his costume. He wore only the legs and still went to get his candy. The next morning he lined up all of his candy on the floor, again, because everything must line up....
