A week in photos
Candies before we melted them into candy tiles to top the brownies. 
My father works for Santa Fe (now BNSF) and every year he puts up a train under the tree. My mother has added a cute village that grows every year.
My mom and I made 10 dozen or so tamales this year. We made chicken, pork and olive ones this year.
My husband found this cute little hot chocolate mix and put it in my stocking. This is the first year in 10 years that we had stockings. Since there are no grandchildren, my mother still puts together stockings for my brothers, husband, father and myself. My Christmas and Birthday Gift
Mazzy and Zuko asleep on our new bed and bedding. 
My husband saved up some money to buy me the best Christmas/Birthday gift... a new bed. We have been together 11 years and have had the same bed, that he brought into the relationship. For four of those years we were poor Undergraduate/Graduate students, then we turned into "married time to pay the student loans and bills" type of couple. So the man I met in a Chicano Studies class... has now bought us our first "New" bed.
The only thing I will miss about our old bed is that one night he came home late from band practice and was kneeling next to the bed ... he woke me up.... and he asked me to marry him .
He was never at practice that day... he was out with his guitarist/best friend shopping for a ring... I had no idea.
On the road again
We went out for some last minute shopping.
It was cold and we ducked into the antique store. It's three levels and from the bottom level came a yummy smell. They have a little cafe called "Phood Cafe". It's always closed when we go antiquating, however today it was open. I had a cheese sandwich with tomato soup and shared a Red Velvet cupcake with my husband. Simple yet filling.
We then took a walk around our favorite part of the city, the Mission Inn area. Everything seems to be in full swing.
Santa, just hanging out. 
They are remodeling the old theater. I can't wait till it reopens. Up above, a snowman hanging out.
The reflection of across the street in a dirty old window.
The Mission Inn. We stayed here on our wedding night as well as for my 30th birthday.
On our way home the clouds began to part.It's amazing what you'll see if you just look up.
Saturday Morning
My tia went in for her surgery. She had her tumors removed. They found that she was filled with tumors. She will be going through chemo. She had her surgery on Thursday evening. She was too tired for visitors ( besides her sisters and mom) on Friday. We were able to see her on Saturday morning before my Sacramento and Idaho family came down. My Arizona family was already with her. These are pictures from Loma Linda... facing my house, my parents house and just behind that mountain... her house.
