Christmas 2009

Now that I have finally gotten all of the laundry caught up and my house isn't in complete shambles I might actually have a spare moment to post about our Christmas.

I never would have thought we would DRIVE to Mazatlan, Mexico but we did!!! We have some great neighbors that invited us and we decided we may as well. Now, I have to confess I did not want to go. It wasn't until the day we left that I finally succumbed to my destiny. Now that we are back I have to say I had the best time.

Here is a very small sampling of our time.

We met this man who did pottery out of his home. He did amazing work without the help of any modern technology. It was amazing. He lived in a small shack in his parents backyard with his wife and four children.
This is where he would fire all of the pottery. It was in the side yard and he would have to wait until the outside elements were perfect to start the "kiln". It sounded like that would happen in the middle of the night, like 1 a.m.!! Truly amazing.
The best chics on earth and I don't mean the one with the brown hat!!!

The most beautiful sunsets.

My computer is not cooperating tonight so I will have to download more pictures tomorrow.
