Some traditions. Some firsts. Some milestones. Small trips. Big trips. Good memories. Hard memories. Sad goodbyes leading to new beginnings. Adios 2025. You were bittersweet.
This is a blog about my random thoughts, my life as a wife and working mother, my happiness, my occasional sadness, and everything in between.

For New Year's Eve, Lionel, Sofia and I went out for dinner. I wanted Bella to come as well, but she had plans with her friends and Lionel and Sofia told me to let her be.
We went to Trio, had our dinner, and came back home to chill for the rest of the evening.

After family lunch, we had our Sofifi-Mami afternoon. We went to Museum Center to see the Auschwitz exhibit. It was her pick. A very tough topic, but one we need to continue to learn from. We had not been there in years in years, since they were little. The place has not changed much, but it is still a pretty cool building.

Yesterday was nice, but today got really cold again. Still, we braved the weather to have lunch at Sotto. We had not been in a while, so I made a reservation. I figured the family would like it, and it felt like a special lunch, at a special location.

One of my favorite Holiday traditions is the Festival of Lights, at the Cincinnati Zoo. Last year only Sofia, Abuelita, and I made it, but this year the four of us went. The weather was very mild, so it was the perfect day to go.

Today Sofia helped Lionel unwrap and setup his new coffee machine, a Christmas gift. We then went to Ikea (Sofia, Bella, and me) to get a new dresser for Sofia and a bookcase for all her books - including the ones she brought back from Boulder. We found what she wanted, so she was happy.

This morning Lionel and I walked Kika, I went to visit my parents for a little bit, and then grandma and grandpa came over and the girls got up and opened their Santa gifts. It was not cold but it was a little bit rainy and a gloomy sort of day. So it was a good day to take it easy, which is actually not too hard to do when everything is closed for Christmas.
