Here is the first in (at least) a three part series of Christmas in Corpus Christi, which includes the annual festivities and the memorial for Sergio Andres Flores.
Dad and cousin Vinnie (yes, I have a Cousin Vinnie) awaiting Christmas festivities as they pass time with "Brick Breaker" and "Doodle Jump," respectively.
Tia Sylvia, Grandma, and Mom spreading the Christmas gossip at the kitchen table.
A new instrument was introduced into the Flores' household this Christmas. The upright acoustic bass made quite the impression, especially on Wyatt, who is now searching for an electric upright.
Mom and Grandma take the two turkeys out of the crock pot to feed the masses that are starving. Christmas dinner never happens before 10:30 on Christmas Eve. It's tradition.
Classes are over and final exams loom over every students head. The good thing about fall semester exams means there are always fun Christmas-y activities involving free food and relaxation during this stressful period. Today, free gingerbread house building. Tomorrow, free Bojangles, Cookout, massages, and late night breakfast. Despite all my efforts to create a beautiful gingerbread house (really made with graham crackers), the strong wind gusts of our 70 degree day and my heavy roof led to the destruction of this sugary fantasy home. It's OK though, because Santa Claus is Comin' to Town is on ABC Family and my procrastination efforts could not be more exemplary.
