Christmas Celebration

We planned our own christmas celebration along with David and Melizza this year. We got out of work early on the 19th and we went to the movies and saw "Seven pounds" with Will Smith. It was a very sad story, kind of confusing at first but later I catched on and I had to hold in my tears to not ruin the makeup. Well after the movie we had a limousine pick us up and take us to dinner at Maggiano's. We had a blast and it was so nice to not worry about who is going to drive - since we had our limo with us! Like around 10pm we went to "Ninja" which is the sushi restaurant we usually go to and picked up our Sushi Chef, Dan, and his sister Micky and we all went to Cadillac Ranch to have some drinks and to dance. We were there for a few hours and then headed home to rest. It was really great doing this for a change, hopefully we are able to plan this for next year!

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving Jorge and his family came to visit. We had lots of food. Cooked all morning and spent the afternoon eating a little of everything we had.
On Friday night we had a sibling/spouses night out, so we went to Native New Yorker for happy hour. We ordered lots of wings and we told stories of when we were younger and talked about what is going on in our lives now. I rarely get to see my brothers since they all live in different places, so it is nice to catch up when we see eachother. (From left to right: Elvira, Jorge, Irad, Chico, Me, and Rose.) Jorge, Irad and I are the siblings and the rest are the spouses! We had so much fun that night.

Shockingly enough I can't remember if we went to Rawhide on Friday or Saturday! Weird how that happened, but anyway we all took a little trip to Rawhid and took a pic right in the entrance. I think it is a really nice family picture.

Chico's birthday: take 2

I forgot to post that for Chico's actual birthday we celebrated with David and Melizza and went to Maggiano's for dinner. If you have not been there, you might want to try, they make really good food.

My Birthday

Like always I'm posting long after the fact, but Nov. 13 was my birthday. It really was not a good one, my father was scheduled for minor surgery to get a fibulator. This is suppose to monitor his heart rythm and shock it if it indeed does not follow its regular rythm. So I spent the whole day in the hospital for my birthday, but everything turned out very well for dad. He is still not back at work because the doctor has given him many restrictions but he says he feels very well and he looks really well too. So after we left the hospital that night like about 10pm, Chico took me to Blue Wasabi to "celebrate" my birthday. I just ordered a martini to relax after such a hectic day and we ordered a sushi roll for each.

Before I forget, the day before we celebrated my birthday at work, we had lots of fun. Here are the pictures I took

Nancy Gomez is such a talented person. She made me this cake for my birthday. The bag is actually the cake; the lipstick, napkin and the olive inside the glass are also eatable. She is so creative and she comes up with the most unbelievable things.

AZ State Fair

Back in October we went to the state fair along with David and Carolina. We had so much fun and we enjoyed it very much. We stayed till it closed, they practically kicked us out! We got in a canoe ride and here is the picture after ward:

David and I got on the big drop, I can't even explain how that feels:
