We went down to Tucson on Christmas Eve after work for both of us. After dropping off the presents at Gerry and Eddie's house we were off to meet Pablo's friend Sara (Moses) Wright and her new son Barrett. Her son had little Converse All Star shoes as did Pablo. See the pics. We also got to see Sara's husband John. We then and met with Pablo's mom and dad. We then went to the Spencer's house where we met up with Kevin, Todd and Jessie and Kevin and Todd's parents. We had some drinks and joined them for dinner of steak shiskabobs. Jessie and Todd are expecting a little girl in May. After that it was off to Gerry and Eddie's house, where all of Pablo's family was spending the night. It was food and drinks. We stayed up with Grandma until 2 am having drinks and learning spanish. We then went to bed and Pablo and Grandma got up at 8 am. They made Coffee. Pablo's dad had to work and his mom brought over Menudo which is a Christmas tradition. Priscilla and Dan got there at 10 am and we opened presents.
Susie and Hugo got re-engaged (they have been married for 26 years) but Hugo surprised her with a ring (see the picture). Eddie then told everyone since Pablo gave Sara a ring and Susie got a ring, he wanted to give Gerry two carrots (he held out 2 actual orange carrot sticks). Sara got a new jewelry box, Sara made Pablo and ASU blanket and her Mom made Pablo and Elvis Quilt. Priscilla gave everyone Scrapbook art. We gave Grandma a digital frame that also had pictures in the frame of her wedding, honeymoon and the last picture of her with Pablo's grandfather before he passed away. The digital pictures were all from last year's Christmas.
We then joined Priscilla and Dan to visit Pablo's dad at the Fire Station for Christmas dinner. They had honeybaked ham, about 50 lbs of mashed potatos, sweet potatos, rolls and green bean caserole. After dinner they did a White Elephant gift exchange. So you got to see firefighters compete for the best tools gift. We also did a tour of the new station and Sara got to meet all of the firefighter friends.
We came back to Gerry and Eddie's for a ham dinner, with large shrimp and grandma's potatoe's which is soaked in vinegar. And then we were on the road back to Phoenix to work the day after Christmas. We hope you all had a good Christmas as we enjoyed ours.
