Christmas eve and Day.....

Christmas eve day began with Goyo's annual Peace Walk on the beach........................











and ended with Robin and Gwen arriving in PM for 2 weeks! We had an amazing dinner at L'Oazis - thanks, Martine - and then the weary travellers headed to their condo for a good sleep!












Christmas Day we all had a lovely brunch at Casa Caribe, courtesy of Cat, Chef Pablo and the Little Mexican Cooking School. Wonderful Eggs Benny, Huevos Rancheros, fresh fruit and juice and even mimosas - what a lovely way to start the day!










Then it was off to the beach for a great swim in the Caribbean sea, followed by treats and drinks with another gang of friends, including Mary (in her Xmas t shirt) and Linda.

Finally, we ended up at Sharon and Les's, where Taffy kept us all entertained.........













He will be a year in February, and is just the sweetest, little guy. Mama Sharon's baby, for sure......










Les put on quite the spread.......home made sausage rolls, meat and cheese dish, Scotch eggs, veggies and cheeses, Welsh cakes.........wow!!!!! Lety brought a yummy pasta dish.....










and I brought my killer Caesar salad, so we all ate well, laughed, shared stories and spent a wonderful Christmas evening!

Posada on Dec. 23

Lety and Stan held the annual Posada (the traditional "room at the inn" event) at their home 2 streets over. Lots of friends and families in attandance.











First we all held candles and sang a song at a neighbours house which asked if there was room at the inn. Sadly, the neighbour sang back, we have no room at the inn........











So we all moved to Lety's - where some sang the song on the outside...........










and the rest of us sang the song on the inside saying - yes! we have room, please come in....!! Then the traditional fruit punch was served to all, after being cooked for 24 hours....yummy!












then of course there was the pinata.........










.....all the kids smashed away..........













Lety did some serious damage.........













.....and your trusty blogger knocked it out of the park.....well, got all the goodies out for the kids, anyway.........











the rest of the evening was lots of good food, visits with friends, music and even dancing, but all the kids definitely stole the show. Thanks Stan and Lety for another wonderful night!!!
