Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, while anticipating the birth of Jesus, our family was preparing.  Preparing food, ourselves and the house for a weekend of celebrating. 

We were invited to our friends' home for a Christmas Eve dinner.  An authentic Spanish dinner, complete with seafood soup.  It was delicious.  The pork made my eyes roll to the back of my head, really.  I brought our fried cauliflower of course.  There was good company, great conversation and sweet memories made.  We are truly grateful to have met such wonderful people and to have the opportunity to share traditions and learn new ones as well.
