Goodbye Queretaro...

Saturday afternoon and evening was one huge party.  About 95 people came to help us celebrate our last day in Queretaro.  We had the karaoke machine, tacos el pata, the pool, and lots of alcohol to keep us busy well into the night!  I am so glad so many people could make it.  The party ended up being better than I ever expected.  Thank you Sarah and Tony for letting us celebrate at your house!!We already miss everyone so much and can't wait to see them all again!!
Yep...we were ready to party.  Add prepared Margaritas to this and everyone
was more than happy!  I think a lot of it was gone by the end of the night

James resting before the party
Miss Debra (the preschool principal) and her two girls (one was in Nolan's class
and one was in Lydia's grade) made it along with Nolan's teacher, Miss Karla. 
He was so excited to see them and Miss Karla brought him a new penguin!
Ethan's teacher, Miss Kerri made it too!


Jeff and me!

Lolis, John, Jack, Juan Carlos, and the guys from tacos el pata.

SO glad these two are moving to Ann Arbor in the fall!!  We were with
Rahul and Chris just about every weekend we were both in town!

Lydia's friend, Rebecca, had a hard time saying goodbye.  She made me cry
because she kept asking why I was taking Lydia away.  Maybe we'll see
Rebecca and her mom, Janet, again in Ireland one day!

James and the crazy Germans, Lars and Rahul


James and I took an opportunity to sing our own duet.  Macy Gray's "I Try." 
One of our favorites.  It was great (the experience, not the singing!)!

Missy reliving her childhood and singing "Like a Virgin."  lol!

Nolan even sang!  Go NoJo!
