This year my sister hosted Christmas Eve at Her house. My parents, along with Hugh's parents came. We had a traditional New Mexican dinner with Pasole, Green Chili Stew, Tamales and tortillas and beans. It was really yummy. There was also delicious appetizers, homemade cookies and Cherry cider, which was amazing. While dinner was cooking and we were waiting for Hugh (he got called in to set a fracture) the kids painted ornaments and set up luminarias. After dinner, we opened Christmas jammies and attempted to take a picture. It was almost impossible to get everyone to sit and look at the camera. Then Keith, the kids and I piled into the van to go and look at luminarias. The neighborhood that does it is a few blocks from Hilary's house so it was nice and convenient. I love seeing the whole neighborhood done up at symbolically lighting the way for the Christ child, it is very peaceful. Then we came back home and the kids slept under the tree until we moved them up into their beds later.
