Herb's sister from Michigan is here for Christmas, and David is here from Munich. So what is required? Mexican food! Lupe's is a little restaurant that is close by, so we decided to go for supper last night. I had never noticed it on the menu before, but there it was. Family platter - for 6 - $49.99. There were 6 of us so we gave it a try. It was soooo good! We each got a plate with rice, bean soup, guacamole and pico de gallo. And then they brought out a huge platter with sauteed onions and peppers, chicken, brisket, shrimp, talapia, steak and ribeye. Of course we tried everything (except for Laura and Alisi, who don't do fish and shrimp. That's ok... more for us!) We all had more than we should have and it was all delicious, and we still had leftovers to bring home!
Now..... For Christmas Alisi got a Wii and Laura got the Wii Fit. So we've been playing that and we have especially enjoyed the hula hoop, ski jump and ski slalom. So last night (after eating way too much) I did the Super Hula Hoop... Well, in the middle of the night I had the biggest case of heartburn I have ever had! Two Rolaids, a cup of milk, a candy cane and some herbal tea and I finally felt better. Whew! Getting too old for either that much food or that much exercise - or maybe both!
It has been a wonderful Christmas this year (even with the heartburn!) I hope yours has been great too!

How wonderful to have your family around you for Christmas. Sorry you had bad effects from the good food. I was eating tums this morning for breakfast. I think you are right about the age thing. But in my case it is good food and lack of exercise rather than too much. We've been snowed in for over a week. A couple of weeks ago we got Fios cable and a new flat digital TV, so at least we had something new to do while waiting for the "Big Thaw". It has finally come today, and we are on our way to do some shopping and meet Peggy and Scott (my other daughter and son-in-law) for Christmas Lunch. Really missed being with them for Christmas.
The wii story is funny....I am just now getting around to checking the blogs I like to read.
