Kayla called me at work this morning (which is very unusual) and asked me a question. Our tradition has been to let the kids open one present on Christmas eve and the rest the next morning. She wanted to know if we could open our first presents the morning of Christmas Eve instead because otherwise they wouldn’t have time to play with their toys.
Who am I to argue.
Laura and her mom are in the kitchen right now preparing tamales for Christmas Eve dinner. Laura decided that instead of buying tamales at El Modelo as usual, she would make them. She is making a variety of different types (green chile chicken, traditional pork and tamale pie). I can’t wait till tomorrow!
…to the River of Lights before the snow storm rolls in tonight.
Yesterday was the kids first day off from school. They return January 4th. So Laura decided to take the kids and Cade’s friend Marcus to the movies. They saw G-Force and had a really good time. But on the way home we got some bad news. Marcus’ family is planning to move to Colorado at the end of the school year. This is a real bummer for Cade since Marcus is his closest friend and the only one that he has regular play-dates with. All this info came from Marcus and not his parents so it might be that they are simply exploring their options. Apparently his father is having trouble finding work is this area.
