We Did It!!!

Tyler and I recently got married in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It was a beautiful week spent with friends and family. We capped off the week with a blue moon on NYE and beautiful reception on Playacar beach. Friends and family came from all over, the weather was beautiful and the ceviche was fresh. Amazing times were had and memories were made that will definitely last forever. Here are a few pics from the big day!

It was an amazing day that I wish I could live over and over again. There is just something magical about a beach wedding. I highly recommend it! If anyone is the market for a great beach wedding planner email me @ md_mendez@hotmail.com!

I will leave you with one parting photo. Happy New Year and best to you all in 2010!

Jingle All The Way...

We couldn't be more excited about Ya Ya's first Christmas. It's surprisingly warm here in Dallas. And I am pretty sure the weather in Mexico is going to awesome as well. Ty and I have talked about Mexico for Christmas as a tradition and a special way to celebrate our NYE anniversary. Sounds good to me! I really want my kids to grow up visiting Mexico often so that they always know where they hail from. We would also like to visit France once a year as well for the same reason. Being that we are traveling this year we are having a relatively small Christmas as far as gifts are concerned. Here is a little sneak peak into what Ya Ya will be receiving for Christmas!

Totally love this little oven from PB Kids. Definitely wanted to go with a neutral color so that babies to follow can enjoy it as well. Tyler is convinced the next little monster will be a boy. I tell him not to hold his breath. I am just convinced I will be raising a household of girlies!

This little doll is so freaking precious! It sings sweet little songs in Spanish. For her birthday in January we plan on getting her the Abuelito doll to go with it. I just love gifts like these!

Hope all of you and your little ones have a great holiday! Merry Christmas!

Matt Blum Photography

Ya Ya recently shot with Matt Blum, a very popular Dallas photographer. It was a first for both of them. Her first time in front of the camera and Matt's first time shooting a baby. She was playing with her Great Grandma Ya Ya's pearls! Enjoy.

Who We Are, Where We're Going

La Familia Gosselin is a young, new family consisting of myself Monica Mendez, my husband Tyler Gosselin, our beautiful daughter Ya Ya and our beloved Frenchie Lu Lu Guiness. We are excited to start blogging as a family and there isn't a better time for us to start. Ya Ya's first ever Christmas is right around the corner. The day after Christmas we are jetting off to Mexico to celebrate our wedding! 7 sunny days in the Mayan Riviera and Tyler and Ya Ya's first trip out of the country. We will celebrate our matrimony on New Years Eve on Playacar beach and we can't wait to share all the fun photos and stories with our new blogging family. Thanks for reading.
