~Christmas Eve~

We had and multi-cultural Christmas Eve dinner with friends. All of us could not be with our families to celebrate with so we celebrated together. We had a great time. It was like a little family of our own. We felt so blessed to have friends to celebrate with.

With snow falling fast outside we had a delicious and worldly dinner. I cooked the turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, watergate salad and rolls. What I mean about a multi-cultural dinner, is because our friends are from other countries. Melina is from Peru and she brought some Peruvian dishes and Inna is from Russia and she brought a cake that is usually eaten in Russia. Everything was so good. It was so cool to eat foods from other countries for Christmas. It was fun to hear Melina's and Inna's stories about how they celebrate the holidays.
Spencer and Melina brought the girls presents. They got Aundrea a kid sewing machine and knitting machine. It actually works. For Cassie they brought her a train and car set. It had the track for both train and car and all the accessories. Cassie was so excited she was jumping up and down. Kevin and Spencer put is together for her and she sat quietly playing with it. I thought I had pics of it but something must of happened.
Thanks for stoppin by. More to come.
