Last night, Dee's sisters and their families (those that are in town) gathered at our house to celebrate Christmas. Since we hosted this year, we decided to have Mexican food and traditions. Sherry made her famous homemade tamales. Danyel shared her version of sour cream chicken enchiladas (Cameo is also a wonderful sour cream Chicken enchilada chef...both have different recipes...both are simply the best!!!)Shelley made the best homemade refried beans I have ever tasted, and she helped with the tamales too! Marina brought some wonderful salsa and the avocados for Dee to make his wonderful guacamole. Eric and Andi brought chips and the layered bean dip that have become a required item at all family gatherings. I made my green chili for burros, and the Spanish rice that my kids adore (I was truly surprised that Morgan didn't show up...my cooking that ALWAYs brings him home.)
Grandma Dorrie brought the best fruit salad...just cut up fruit. The pears were just to die for!! And then, the desserts: I made Mexican wedding cookies, Mike and Nathan made the best dessert...cookie crust, graham crackers...etc. Well, suffice it to say, Nathan ran a mile last night just to wear THAT off. There were Snickerdoodles, Brownie Bites, Sugar cookies, and Grandma's divinity.
The kids played on our playground until dinner, played in the playroom,
and then we had a pinata. It was so fun to be together. I can hardly wait for Easter!
