Abuelito with of his 13 siblings. One died as a baby, and the oldest brother couldn't make it. They are in order from oldest to youngest. Abuelito is 3rd oldest, and is second in order in this photo. They are: Pablo, Marcelino (Abuelito), Maria, Celia, Yolanda, Ismael, Froylan, Carmela, Rebecca; Bottom (continuing in order from right to left): Alfredo, Moises, Irma. There were nearly 200 people at this reunion with the posterity of those siblings. I'll post more pics later.
This is the church house in San Marcos where we held the reunion. It is so beautiful, inside and out. It is also very old. San Marcos is the place of the very first Mormons in Mexico. Maho's ancestors were among them.
Here's the reunion banner that was made. It includes Abuelito's parents and all 13 living siblings. It was taken many years ago--before his parents died in '97.
Tessy, Ellie and Camille kept themselves entertained by collecting rose petals around the church. Ellie wanted me to take a picture of them "making rain" with the rose petals.
Helaman and Laurel sorta look like they're dancing. Actually they're playing mercy. Laurel won!
One night for dinner at the reunion we had an "elotiza." We ate elotes: corn on the cob on a stick with Mayo, cheese and chili powder. Ohhhhhh, delish!! They boil the corn with an herb called "pericon." It gives the corn such a great flavor. Then with all the fixins--wow, what a treat! You find elote stands everywhere here in Mexico. They cost between 8 and 12 pesos each (70 cents to a dollar).
This was the last day of the reunion. All these cousins are named Mahonry!! There are 3-4 other Mahonry's in the family too, but they weren't around when we thought of this. But my Mahonry is the original. The other's are copycats, 'cause their parents liked his name so well.
