The Joy of Family

Recently our daughter, her husband and new baby came home to Ajijic, Lake Chapala just in time for my hsband’s birthday.

It is  wonderful having the family back together again but the icing on the cake was his 3 brothers and son coming from North Carolina and Toronto to join in the festivities

He was surprised on the Friday night by the arrival of his 3 brothers and an hour later his son suprised him and his joy and ours was complete.

We had planned a small dinner party at friends for a few close friends and family on the actual birthday which was the Saturday which was also a surprise and the dinner was fantastic both the food and the company.

On the Sunday my husband cooked a pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches and pork pouteen which was also delicious and last night the brothers took us out for dinner.

One brother left yesterday, the other two leave today and our son leaves tomorrow.

We have had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed their company.   It made my hsband’s birthday very special.

There was some talk of continuing the celebrations today with mango margaritas but common sense prevailed.

It is great to know that because of our proximity to an International airport our friends and family can easlily tavel to visit us here in our paradise in the sun of Ajijic, Lake Chapala.
