bittersweet celebrations

With only a few more days until Christmas, my parents stopped by this afternoon to help lend a hand to take the 2011 pictures. After the "shoot" (I don't know what else to call it, don't judge) it hit us: I will not see them again until after Christmas! 


They leave for a wedding Guadalajara this week & won't be back until after Fran & I leave for CT. As excited as I am to experience a white (literal & figurative) Christmas up north, for 27 years December 24th has been spent in the company of my Garcia family. 


In any case, this afternoon we celebrated with the best frozen mimosas & gossip so, if nothing else here goes for every other year:


It's always fun going out with my parents thanks to their insatiable need to take pictures- now you know where I get the addiction from. Although, my dad takes THE most unflattering pictures on Earth.

And finally, with my dad's trademark Capt. Morgan pose. Feliz Navidad! *sniff*
