As plans began to take shape for Carlos' law school graduation, it was realized that most siblings would be able to attend. So we started to make an effort to get everyone there. With so many family members getting together, the Gaspar de Alba family decided it would be a good time to have Kristina go through the temple in preparation for her mission. On Friday, May 17th we accompanied Kristina as she attended the San Antonio Temple for the first time. It was great to be there for that special experience. Because of traffic and work related issues not everyone was able to make it. After the temple we celebrated at a Brazilian Restaurant.
Carlos' graduation was the next day, May 18th. We were sad that Bert ended up having to stay and deal with some issues with the drilling of wells, but Dad was able to fly in Saturday morning and make it just in time to the graduation. We were happy to be there for Carlos and for all that he accomplished.
We got some gifts for Carlos' graduation. Brayden was pretty excited because he got a judge Lego Minifigure and he saved it for him for several months to give it to him after graduation. Matt gave him a judge wig and all of us siblings gave him a leather bag.
That night after the graduation we had a little celebration for Dad's 70th birthday that was in April. Camille came up with the idea to do a memory book for his birthday. We compiled memories and letters from the grandchildren and adults and put them in a book that we gave him that night. It was fun to gather around and go through it with him.
