Merry Christmas

Getting the chicken ready for cooking, bring back memories mom? This is one of the farm dogs, princesa. She is guard dog and is a bit crazy, but I still love her.

Yumi in front of the little pile of corn.
This worker was getting the beans out of the shells by beating them with sticks, very hard work, but I do love the beans.


I have no idea who these guys were, some neighbors. He did play and sing for about 7 hours that day. Nice to have live music for christmas.

Edgar and Todd (peace core) getting the firewood ready.


Yumi and I were working on the veggies.


Everyone else were making the tamales, oh so good.





Edgar and hermanos, Alejandro & Mario

The campfire was wonderful, it was a bit cold that night.


After the fire came the dancing.


Tia is about 80 and was out dancing us all. She's a bit crazy and wonderful all wrapped up in a colorful package.
Of course at midnight Edgar had to do his fireworks.





It gets dark about 5 pm and your sleepy by 8. It was really hard to stay up so late for the fireworks but we did it and Merry Christmas.



It's a video of Edgar killing one of the chickens. If you have a squimy stomache then don't watch. Sorry it's sideways though.
