First stop is at Casa Delgado for Angie and Larry's annual Christmas Eve party......

After Mass, we have picked up Dwight and Keeks and are off for a very special evening....

At Angie's, Danny has completed his first plate of Angie's legendary cuisine........

The Chavezes prove to be harsher food critics..........

The other speciality at the party is the fine companionship........

And Frannie has found the "finest" companions. By the way, as you can see by this picture, the bulk of the pictures taken at the party were done for me by Sofia and Cecilia............

Baby Binks poses for the girls.....

As does Kiki..........

Sisi is another pretty model...........

As well as another Hollywood star...........

Tableau before the fireplace..........In the interest of maintaining an atmosphere of decorum in my blog, I will forgo any of the obligatory "horny" remarks.

Louie and Alice are ready for Santa................

An armful of fun................

"Mommie, WHICH one of the The Three Stooges are we related to?"........

The "Boss" of all he surveys.................

"You guys crack me up!"

Profile shot.............

Glamour shot......

Gabriella is growing up, but she is still amused by her little cousin's antics.........

Menders and Cynthia discuss a piece of fruit...........

Hilarity--high and low........................

Don't know what caused Miss Cecilia to collapse into such a charming giggly heap .......

Oh, maybe it was another "animal" picture or the "butt shot" that followed...............

Grandma is loving having the girls home.......................

And Sisi is thoroughly enjoying having her Dude home for the holidays............

Mary is wearing her Christmas sweater.............

Binks is humoring the little ones by initiating a wild hair swinging episode...........

Which Kiki carries on................

But nobody can top the Chavezes in the hair department............

Frannie is "above" the hair fiasco, but she is not "above" the delicious posole.............

Who could be so fascinating that this entire group is held spellbound?.......

My bet would be on one of these two...................

Next stop is on to the Gonzales' Christmas party in their brand new home........

Again, the food was fabulous and the company even more spectacular! This is Megan.

Trinity can hardly wait for Santa Clause to come--she has gotten word that she is on the "good list" this year! She informs us that she hasn't been on the "bad list" since she was two!! Gee I can't remember when I was on EITHER list! Merry Christmas to All!!!!
