Today in Mexican Catholicism, is Dia de le Calendaria, the day when those who pulled the Baby Jesii out of the Rosca cake on Three Kings' Day have to make tamales for the same group of people. Since your Mommy's side of the family is like a little model United Nations, we mixed it up a bit. Uncle Tony & Titi Alma brought all kinds of flavors of Buffalo Wild Wings and sweet corn bread from Boston Market. Your Abuela made the pozole, Mommy's friend Tiffiney brought the tamales, and your Mommy made the salad. You were very happy because Raven and Scarlett had stayed overnight from Friday-night bingo, and even though she had to go home for a few hours during the day to recharge her lungs from the cats, Raven stayed the entire day and it was like you had your very own big sister. Your friend Ceci and her sister Lily also came over, so we once again had a house full of children.I am convinced that cold has no meaning to you for as soon as the rest of your cousins, Phoenix, Logan, and Santana, came over, you all headed to the backyard to play in the snow. When Ceci, Lily, and her Mommy and Daddy, Nancy and Andy came, you decided to finally come indoors.
Everyone had a good time. It was very laid back, and the food made all of the adults sleepy. You kids were nuclear charged, though you did calm down a bit and when and Raven started to draw together. Ceci also made you a book about you and her being friends to go along with the flowers that they brought over. I think there was some kind of dessert, but you kids had finished it off long before I realized it existed. So much the better, I need to keep to my food portion control, so I contented myself with some tea.
Love,
Daddy
