Today Marvin's family came over for dinner and pre Christmas fun :) Dewey, Mary, Bettie and Lee, and David and his son Alexander. Iris couldn't make it, she was looking for an apartment because her mother is coming from Costa Rica and...well too long and complicated to explain here.We decided to have a "white elephant" gift exchange rather than spend a lot of money on things we really didn't need or want especially since the economic situation is not as good as it had been for some of us.
We had hors d'oeuvres, and Marvin cooked pork spareribs, with beans, salad, rolls and custard pie for dessert, very good. He really can cook the tenderest most flavorful ribs! After we ate, we played the game of gift exchange, it was fun, we had enough things so everybody had 2-3 gifts, some were pretty nice, and some were really "white elephants". I ended up with some nice lotion, some air diffuser reeds and a digital timer.
We watched a lot of college games, Florida vs Alabama and Texas vs Nebraska. I guess the title game for best college team will be in Pasadena December 7 between the winners Texas and Alabama. Boise State had a great season, they were undefeated and hopefully they'll get to play in a bowl.
Alexander has grown a lot, he's very energetic! Mary and Dewey are staying the night. And poor Emily too of course. It was nice seeing everybody.

Little Alexander looks just like his dad at the same age!
