Christmas Eve Edition
We did our annual food from around the world and this year we did Mexican food and invited a house full of people. In the end, we had 37 people in all come, a few left before a few came so it was never quite that many all at once.
The kid table
The adult tables that were not quite full yet because there were so many yummy things to choose from- see below.
We had: tacos, cafe rio burritos, honey lime enchiladas, pazole soup, mexican corn, salsa, guacamole, taquitos, rice, beans, mexican dip, and tamales.
For dessert: tres leches cake, flan, fried ice cream, and cookies.
See those tables filled up.
What kind of a mexican fiesta would it have been without a pinata?!
Peter made it and the girls and I decorated it- a Christmas tree!
It was freezing but the kids loved it and almost all of them got a few swings before it totally broke open. I believe only one child was hit and only a few other tears were shed over who got what prizes.
After the party ended, we had the kids open their jammies.
Jon was showing Samantha the amazingness of wrapping paper.
Arabella daintily opened hers whereas, Joseph went for the claw approach which made it hard to capture a clear picture.
We were so thankful that we could fill our home with some of our Texas family. This tradition has helped me make the holidays feel more like what I remember my childhood being. It was a wonderful Christmas Eve!
