Mom had requested pics of the weekend and so I snapped these as our family arrived...
Daughter and family.
Out of Town Son and family.
Beach Boy and family.
Baby Alice was passed around and loved on by all.
Cici (I like this spelling, but it isn't how we usually spell it) and Dean.
Little amigos!
Oh these two!
Cousins.
Saturday was our fiesta Christmas. Children got turns on a piñata, then the adults took whacks at a second piñata! Ole!
Feliz Navidad from our crew.
Back at our house "Tiny Hands" was one of the dirty Santa gag gifts. They were hilarious.
Funny poses were struck. The hands were staged in several different venues before the weekend was over.
Towel turbine were in the small girls gift bags.
They were a hit.
Today Macho drove and stopped to let me pilfer greenery from roadside fence posts.
Tonight we will attend midnight Mass. This is not tradition. It is very out of the ordinary.
Music program to begin at 11:00. I will clean up after Mass and so it will be 1:30 before we leave the church. Tomorrow we will be worthless.
We will rise at some point and exchange the two gifts left under the tree.
Yes, Christmas will arrive.
In a whisper.
Come Lord Jesus, fill our hearts with peace and hope.
"Backward, turn backward
O time in your flight;
Make me a child again
Just for tonight."
-Elizabeth Akers Allen
Shalom.
