busy times

Wow, we had a very busy weekend. Where to start? First of all, Hector's brother Carlos came out this weekend which was cool since I could finally give him his super neat handmade socks. Which by the way, fit perfect. Yes, I managed to make something the correct size!! :)
Saturday was mostly hanging out although Hector had to volunteer 2 hours at the soccer field. My cousin Hannah came out to visit and bring some doner kabobs from Spitz in Eagle Rock. They were very good but not quite the same as the ones we had in Germany. Well I guess that would be a great excuse to go there. Anyway, H hung out with us while we caught up on the latest goings on and I showed her my various finished projects. We settled on the yarn she likes for the next set of wristwarmers and I gave her a little shrug/capelet. Her Po came by and they took off.

Saturday night was set aside for a very nice dinner at Mortons. Steaks and seafood. We had made plans for this about 2 weeks ago with She-ra and He-man. Carlos came out over so we decided it would be the perfect time to introduce him to Mortons. To make a super long story short...She-ra and He-man got in a big blowout right before driving to our house so it delayed us a bit. The normal people at Chez Cheese discussed our options since we had no idea how the situation with those two would turn out. An hour and a half later and multiple phone calls they agreed to drive down to our house so we could go to dinner as planned. Hector was great in convincing the restaurant to move our reservations back. The couple was even later getting to our house so we decided to go without them. Just as we got to the street, they pulled up. Doh! Then we got in one car, drove to Mortons and had a wonderful dinner. There was a little tension and we ignored it by ordering lots of drinks. :) I tried a few new items on the menu and they were great. The crab cakes was delish, the garlic green beans and mac n cheese to die for. I was very happy.
