Mexico vacation, part 1

We went to Mexico in December and had a fun time.  We went to Arshell's wedding and spent four days in Mexico City and then a week in Cancun!  It is difficult traveling with kids, but we made some great memories and had some fun times, so I'm glad we got to go!
Here are pictures from Mexico City:

 eating lunch at a small restaurant across from our hotel.  We ate outside- the weather was wonderful!
 eating tacos with Marco's family
 Cesar with Arshell and Yannik (his niece and nephew)
 Eli and Diego playing with Marco and Dinorah at a nice park near their apartment

 family picture outside of the temple.  Cesar and I were able to go inside for Arshell and Ricardo's sealing.  Cesar's other nieces and nephew took care of the kids.

Cesar's grandma made all the bride's maid dresses and the wedding dress!  Beautiful.
 
They had a reception that Cesar went to, but the kids and I stayed at the hotel and slept.  The party was from 9:30- 2 a.m.!  Cesar had a good time seeing relatives, dancing, and eating!
 
When we went to Mexico City five years ago, we rented a car; this time we stuck with taxis and buses.  It was too crazy trying to drive and navigate the crazy streets.  The buses are sometimes soooo crowded.  It was a little scary at times trying to keep track of the kids and pushing ourselves out when we had to get off.  We survived though.  It was nice to see Marco's family and for the kids to get to know their cousins.
