The Juarez family shared a fun and relaxing holiday weekend, and celebrated Teo's old man's b-day.
Friday night (dad's actual birth day) we went dancing to the sweet (and hot) sounds of the Jonathan Stout Orchestra, one of the very best swing bands out there. They were headlining the night at the Sweet & Hot Jazz Festival, which is hosted every Labor Day weekend at the LAX Marriott, and wanting to get out and dance a bit, we put on our dancing shoes, put on Teo's new sound-dampening headphones and headed out. Teo had a blast as well, as there was plenty of space in the big ballroom to lay out a blanket for him and let him roam around while mom & dad danced nearby.
On Saturday, we headed down Santa Monica and Venice way, to hook up with Unkies Ken and Jeff and Aunties Monica and Chiaki (and Jeff's sister and husband) at Venice Beach for a quick stroll on the boardwalk, and then went to C&O Trattoria for some great Italian food and song. After 7pm, the whole restaurant patio breaks out in song every hour to the tune of "That's Amore" by Dean Martin. (See video below. We caught part of it.)
On Sunday, Tia Sylvia came over for dinner and a visit with Little Man Teo and brought over b-day gifts for dad, which were actually gifts for Teo, which is really a gift for dad.
Sylvia bought him a pair of sunglasses, which totally fit his little face, and are a total crackup. He doesn't seem to mind wearing them either. Plus she bought him a couple of cool hats, among other great items. Thanks to the good tastes of friends and family, Teo is one sty-lee little boy.
Next up: Auntie Monica's b-day fun at the beach this Saturday. Pics/vids to come.

What darling pictures. Teo gets cuter by the minute! Sounds like a great birthday and great weekend. I so loved dancing at a younger age. I'd like it now but the body doesn't quite cooperate. Anyway, thanks for the pictures!
That boy seems to be growing by leaps and bounds and gigantic flying jumps like the Incredible Hulk does!!
