A Mexican Christmas

 Christmas eve celebrations started early in the morning with the making of tamales. Abue, Jason, Enrique, Kaana and Anahi (Luhanna helped a little) made all them all (small kids were MIA).
That evening it was off to Dalila's house for the Christmas celebrations.
 
There was a lot of food; tamales (pork in green sauce and red sauce, chicken in green sauce and red sauce, cheese with peppers and plain), pozole, birria and many desserts.
 There was plenty of hanging out.
 Watching movies.
 And Kareoke.
The highlight of the night, besides the food.
 The next morning at Abue's house everyone opened their gifts.
 And played games.
 Later that morning it was back to Dalila's house for breakfast.  All the food leftover from the night before, yum!
 Then it was back to Salinas to open the gifts under that tree, with the yule log on TV of course.
The twins and Kaana were excited to open more gifts and empty their stockings.  Little do they know that a second Christmas will start in a few hours, The Italian Christmas.
