The Gang's All Here!
Hi Ya'll!
Saturday morning rolled around and off we went for tamales at Lupita's! Ellen's oldest nephew, Russ, who was coming into town for the festivities, LOVES tamales. Actually, he loves all types of Mexican food, so we did not want to disappoint him. Of course, Michael hasn't been to El Paso for almost a year, so we knew he would be ready for a tamale or two!
Nichole and Michael arrived at the house around 11:00, and Russ was soon to follow! Needless to say, the tamales were still hot and were ready for these hungry travelers!
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and no one could resist the sunshine. For the two St. Louis visitors, it was welcome relief from the zero degree temperatures they had been experiencing at home.
Carol could not resist a picture or two of Lupita's. Neither could Sharon!
Joe took off a few days from work so that he could enjoy the family, too. 
We were just hanging out and enjoying the afternoon sun!
This is Nichole, Carol and Russ.
Michael was ready for some sunshine, too. Remember, they have been back from Denmark for only a few weeks.
Carol was making the rounds so that she could have her picture taken with each one!
The dinner menu was going to be green chili chicken enchiladas, guacamole, and beans. Ellen and Sharon spent some time in the kitchen getting everything prepared and ready to put in the oven. Russ was observing. He enjoys cooking and wanted to see if Ellen had any new twists to fixing the enchiladas.
Saturday evening everyone went to bed with full tummies and happy thoughts of a wonderful day shared with family!

Mucho fun! As Joe and I sat in Leo's eating tacos and drinking beer and being serenaded by mariachis I realized I could never ever in 100 years move back to El Paso. I'd put on 300 pounds on all the amazing Mexican food. People often tell me to check out this place or that place in Dallas for the best Mex. food and unless they are also a former EP resident I look at them like they are insane. haha.
We had a fun week! Thanks!
Looks like a great time for everyone!!
I know how glad you are to have Michael and Nichole in the same geographic area as the rest of the family!!!
