Merry Chistmas Feliz Natal!
Merry Christmas, Feliz Natal! Christmas Eve is my favorite holiday. This year like almost all the previous years we went to my parents house to exchange gifts with my parents and Tony's family. After exchanging gifts, we went to Tia Gloria and Tio Agusto's house to visit with the rest of the family. In the past we have gone to the Our Lady of Fatima church for Christmas Eve's mass before going over to Tia Gloria's. We tried to make it this year but just didn't have enough time before dinner started. My parents, Tio Telmo, Tia Celia, Marta, Marco and his wife, Tina and Jack, Avo Dos Anjos, Suzy and Paul, Tony and Maria and their kids were all there. We missed all the other aunts, uncles and cousins! I hope all of you had a peaceful and healthy Christmas where ever you celebrated the day. The Christmas eve meal was a traditional Portuguese meal, consisting of bacalhao com batatas e couves com azeite e vinhagre. Salted dried Cod fish boiled with potatoes and Kale with Olive Oil and Vinegar. It's the one time of year I get to taste this delicious dish.
After the meal, we played some trivia games and the kids opened up gifts and we did a secret santa gifts. The kids were so excited with all the generous gifts the family gives them. Of course the best thing about this is daddy gets to play with the kids and their gifts :-) on the day after Christmas. This year though the kids are getting old enough that they don't want me to play with them any more!
Tina is going to send me some pictures of the Christmas eve celebration, since my camera was out of batteries. I'll post them once I get them. Feel free to send me some pictures of your Christmas eve celebration!
On Christmas day, we hung out with the kids in the morning and then went to Grand Ma Joan's house for lunch. She made one of my favoriate holiday meals, baked ham, wild rice, broccoli casserole and Susan't stiky buns. We got to see Suan's aunts, her sister's family and her brother's family. The kids got some wonderfull gifts at Grand Ma's.
