Post-Christmas

The couple of days after Christmas were a bit of a blur. JuanFe and RC left early on the morning of December 26th - much to every one's sadness (especially Luis!). I'm not really sure what we did in the days that follow. I'm pretty sure there was a trip to the zoo, some post-Christmas sale shopping, lots of left-over eating and general togetherness. Jules was a bit under the weather, but managed to participate in much of what we did. Liz, Jules, and Diego went to see Avatar - in 3-D on an IMAX screen. They come home in complete awe of the movie-watching experience.

Luis enjoyed both coloring with the window crayons AND wearing his ear protection

Our friend, Heather, arrived from Richmond on New Year's Eve to spend a couple of days with us. Diego made an AMAZING paella for dinner. We all managed to stay up past midnight (barely). Liz, Jules and Heather participated in a few South American traditions (superstitions?) to ensure good things in the New Year - including running around the house with an empty suitcase (to bring travel) and with money in the pockets (to bring prosperity). It was a fun night.
