Wow! Another year in the books. It's hard to believe everything we have done in the last year, let alone just in the month of December. At the very least, I am actually putting up my Christmas post in the month of December, which is something worth celebrating.
Sarah and I had a fantastic Christmas season, which kicked off with the US Consulate Winter Gala, which I like to refer to as "Consulate Prom." After that, we went to a party approximately every three days, where I ate my relative weight in every type of tamale imaginable.
It even got cold (sort of). This winter in Juarez has not been nearly as cold as last winter, although it did cool down enough for a few weeks to necessitate blankets and beanies for our daily walks with el Señorito.
So we took some time off and made our way to sunny Mesa, AZ, to spend time with my family. This included a thrilling ride on the train at a local park (which el Señor was not too sure about).
And some quality time with all of our little guy's cousins (which he was also not too sure about).
On the plus side, our son did get to try his first milkshake and ride plenty of slides, both of which he definitely enjoyed.
It was definitely a very busy December, but we had a great time visiting with friends and family. It was especially nice to spend time with my family in Arizona. Thanks to all of them for providing us with delicious food, lots of fun, and a very uncomfortable bed in the guest bedroom. See you all in 2015!
