The 23rd of Dec. is not the time to be arriving home and expect company for Christmas. But on 21st the Under Secretary was coming to Guadalajara for one of our corn harvests that my presence was necessary. The plane was waiting for me as soon as the harvest event concluded as was my pickup in Tijuana. However, Emilee did not wait up for me in San Diego as I didn't arrive at her place until 11pm. After tons of fun visiting I went shopping in La Jolla near the Temple my first shopping (on 22nd no less) and didn't arrive in Yuma until late that night. But before Becky, George, Jebezdaz, Kimball & Lil Dorth arrived Wed the lights were put and I was rather proud how well they turned out for quick 2 hr decorating job. Dir. Jarom, Esq arrived 4am Thur and Emilee, Cody & Liza wandered in at noon. Plans had been for the girls to decorate the inside of the house with all the Christmas traditions but the storage had put their lock on my unit b/c mine had broken. We decided that we would just go with my tree (that was still up from the Christmas before) with just the lights--red and white and with no traditional indoor decorations and not get our undies in a knot over what we couldn't control. (A good lesson b/c no one seemed to mind not being traditional.....we just had tons of fun relaxing and not worrying). We did Christmas Eve Soup Supper at the Bodines. We took a Green Chile crock pot.
Bek & Em baked pecan pie, divinity & carmels, whole ham, (NOTE: I found this in drafts having started it right after Christmas so here it is as I remember it) [NOTE2: Someone please tell me how to edit and put the picture in order of text....this sorry piece of junk blog]
