Kellen Meets His Great-Abuelito

This past weekend, my Abuelito came for a visit! It was the first time that he met Kellen. Our visit was so unbelievable. It was beyond amazing to see my Abuelito again - it has been 5 years since we have seen one another! The visit went by too fast - and we already miss our time with him. Kellen took an instant liking to him - calling him "Abel-lito"!
I love you so much, Abuelito.
Kellen hanging out with his Great-Abuelito - Abuelito brought us so many beautiful pictures of our precious Abuelita. It has been hard not having her with us for the visit, but we know that she is looking down on us and smiling.
My sweet Abuelito.
Lita had to sneak in some kisses too!
Kellen getting some tickles from his Great-Abuelito.
Mommy and her Abuelito.
Shawn loved having time to actually get to know Abuelito. They had lots of time to hang out and talk.
Here is Kellen showing his Great-Abuelito all of his toys.
Abuelito helped Kellen put together a long chain of mini-hangers.
Wearing his backpack and ready to head to the hotel for a swim!
Looking at pictures of Abuelita...
Kellen had his cooking class on Saturday morning. Great Abuelito and Lita joined us - here they all are posing with the mini chef!
Mommy and Kellen busy cooking up cupcakes.
And icing our ice cream cones.
Showing us his two wizard hats (iced ice cream cones on top of cupcakes!).
And enjoying his delicious ice cream sundae!
On Saturday, Lita, Abuelito, and Mommy went to The Ethiopian House for an amazing lunch. Abuelito loved the food, the ambiance, and the staff....so much so that he asked for a picture with our waitress!
Us after our yummy meal.
Hanging out in the afternoon....Kellen has a cold right now and was sooo tired.
....But he still had energy to go for a swim!!!
"Look at me swimming, Lita!!"
"And now look at me swimming with my Daddy!"
"Ahhhh, I love swimming!!"
Relaxing in the hotel room before dinner.
...and enjoying quiet cuddles with Great Abuelito.
Lita and Great Abuelito enjoying their time together over breakfast.
...and Kellen wasting time at breakfast watching a Dora episode on the IPod.
A beautiful moment in time captured between 2 of my favourite boys....
Precious.
Hanging out in Lita's hotel room. Kellen loved the hotel! He loved pressing the buttons in the elevator and hanging out in this cool room that has 2 beds!
Lita and Abuelito together - beautiful.
I think Lita and Abuelito love Kellen! They love him so much that they made a Kellen kiss sandwich!
4 generations of family - how lucky are we?
Attempting a group picture in the backyard - Kellen is wondering why he is always being asked to pose for pictures! By the way - check out our fence posts! Maybe sometime this year, we will get a fence to go along with those posts!
And another group shot....with much more success!
Abuelito and Shawn enjoying some time together.
Abuelito and Mommy - she was so happy to have time with her Abuelito. It has been far too long in between our visits together.
Attempting to take a picture, but Kellen was trying to tickle my face with a giant leaf!
Kellen is wondering why on earth does he have to pose again!!
