Ella and Francisco

I have been meaning to post photos from Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. As we get closer to this year’s Thanksgiving and Christmas times, now seems like a good (if not almost too late) time to finally post them. Thanksgiving was here in Austin and Ella and I were joined by my Dad, Luz-Maria, Luis, Andrea, Karl, and their baby. Aimee, Luis’ girlfriend joined us on Friday and we enjoyed meeting her and showing her Austin. Karl and Andrea and baby moved to London from San Antonio, and Aimee went to Azerbaijan for a year. Luis has visited her a couple times, giving new meaning to the term “long-distance relationship”.

Christmas was a lot of fun in 2008. For a couple of years our good friend Negina has organized “the 12 Bars of XMAS”, a custom planned pub crawl through the heart of downtown Austin. This year was attended by many good friends in festive hats and bells. The night ended at Taste, a very fine establishment that caters in fantastic gourmet entrees and wines. The owners, Regan and Kristi, were kind enough to offer us some samples of their incredible food and wine and made us instant fans. A very fun evening that ended with a special gesture.
