The twins asked to hang a Mexican flag on their birthday, which also happens to be Mexican Independence Day. It arrived the day before their birthday and we put it out right away to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15-Oct 15) and thanks to an adorable reel of a cutie little girl singing our favorite mariachi song, Los Laureles, it has been stuck in all of our heads for 3 days. Bear is obsessed with having everyone learn how to grito and we took turns out-grito-ing one another while eating bday ice cream last night. There’s something very cathartic about belting out an uninhibited joyful yelp. It was amazing and we laughed so hard.
The twins chose Book of Life for family movie (we still have leftover movie popcorn from Soren’s bday that they are slowly working through). Esme wore one of her Mexican dresses to church on Sunday and I braided pink ribbons into her hair. She looked so cute.
Gosh I love these twins and the beautiful culture they bring to our family.
