New Year's Weekend 2012
This year the Poblete Family gathered at Casa de Poblete
in Las Vegas to bring in the New Year. It wasn't the usually
large gathering of family and friends as in past years
but a nice intimate time spent with immediate family before
12 midnight. Prior to the big countdown the family prepared
a large feast and ate their last meal for 2011 which consisted
of a roasted turkey, baked ham, mashed potatoes, rolls,
soup, vegtable trays and assorted desserts. It was good
non-stop eating until the TV was turned on to watch the
countdown and the huge fireworks display on the Las Vegas
Strip. Shortly after midnight family friends Jerry and
Genneth arrived after their flight from San Diego to Las
Vegas was cancelled due to the fog. (James who flew in
from Ontario to meet up with Jerry and Genneth at the
airport actually arrived and was picked up prior to midnight.)
After an hour or so of hanging out after midnight, everyone
went to bed for their first good night's sleep of the
year 2012.
The following day the weekend celebrating continued starting with lunch with the Dela Rosa Family who were also in town from
San Diego to bring in the new year. After lunch everyone hung out for exchanging of gifts, watching a photo slideshow of 2011 family
activities, and and evening of watching movies in the Poblete Home Theater until midnight. Then everyone headed over to the
South Point Hotel to meet up with the Carlos and Baciles families from San Diego and Canada for some midnight steak and eggs
and midnight dollar bowling.
To end the this year's New Year's Weekend, the family joined by the Carlos and Baciles families had lunch at Lucille's
Barbeque Restaurant for some mouth watering barbeque. Afterwards they all joined the Dela Rosa family back at Casa de
Poblete for the rest of the afternoon before everyone headed back for their drive back home to San Diego.

Farewell 2011
2011 has come and gone and although the rest of the world seem to be going through some much turmoil from financial crises
to natural disasters, we thank God that our family is still in good health, are all safe and sound, and have had another
year to spend time together and make more fond memories. As always we brought in the new year together, this year down in
San Diego with family and friends. We continued to celebrate special occasions throughout the year celebrating Carole's
Birthday on the Vegas Strip, Ron's Birthday watching the Pacquiao-Mosley Fight, Nico's Birthday at the Fukuburger Truck,
Kiana's Sweet 16 Birthday, Mama Pearlie and Papa Rollie's Birthdays and Anniversary, and Nevaeh's 6th Birthday. 2011 was
also a milestone year for Nevaeh as she started Kindergarten this year.
This year we were able to take time off but didn't
take any big trips. Instead we made several trips back
and forth from San Diego to Las Vegas and took several
staycations. Staycations in Las Vegas were taken at
the Aria
Resort and the South
Point Hotel as well as staycations at Lake Las Vegas
at both the Ravella
Resort and Loews
Lake Las Vegas Resort and at the The
Resort on Mount Charleston. The girls spent another
summer in San
Diego visiting the San Diego County Fair, Sea World,
and especially the beach. We also took time to support
our favorite sports teams and athletes as this year
we made our annual family trip to Petco Park to watch
the San
Diego Padres and also to Qualcomm Stadium to watch
the San
Diego Chargers. And as always we supported our Filipino
fighters in Las Vegas watching Nonito
"The Filipino Flash" Donaire knockout former champion
Fernando "KO-Chulito" Montiel in the second round and
attended both weigh-in events to support the "Pound
for Pound" champion Manny Pacquiao as he fought and
defeated both Sugar
Shane Mosley and Juan
Manuel Marquez this year.
Throughout the year we continued to make time go out family outings from time to time. This year Nevaeh got to go to the
circus for the first time. Concerts and show we attended this year were The Platters, Matsuri, Recycled Percussions, Nick
Cannon, Jake Shimabukuro, Brian McKnight, The Go-Go's, Barry Manilow, Smash Mouth, Frank Marino's DIVAS, Jabbawockeez,
The Magic and Tigers of Rick Thomas, MC Hammer, Smokey Robinson, Justin Timberlake and Friends, Lupe Fiasco, Janet Jackson,
and Cirque du Soliel's Michael Jackson - The Immortal Tour. This year Ron and Carole also started walking regularly and put
their walking towards a good cause and joined this year's Walk to End Alzheimer's event and raised $265.00.
As 2011 passes by we look forward to 2012 and creating more family memories. As stated in this anonymous quote,
“Don't just count the days but make the days count.” From our family to yours, we hope everyone as a great new year!
