We headed down to Betsy's and had dinner with her family. Aliyah also got to tear open her first Christmas gift, since we only did stockings in the morning. She still needed a little help, but did pretty good after she realized that mommy wasn't going to tell her no when she ripped it. She got a big box of Latin themed play food, and wanted to dig right in.
After we spent the afternoon there, we continued on to my parents' for the evening and the next couple days. We wasted little time getting to the presents there as well. The highlight of Christmas for me was the little kitchen my Dad and I built for Aliyah. Ok, so really my Dad built it while I handed him tools and I decorated it, but either way, it's awesome, and as much as she did seem to like it, I'm pretty sure I was way more excited for it. Along with her kitchen, Grandma got Aliyah pots and pans to cook her new food in. She has gotten lots of use out of all of it and spends lots of time cooking just like mommy :)
On Christmas Eve we were able to continue our tradition of making tamales! My mom and Michael joined us in the assembly line and we were able to pick up Danny and Marina from the airport just in time to enjoy the results. We're getting better at the tamale making process, but they could still use some work :)
All in all, it was nice to be able to spend time with family and friends and to be able to relax and enjoy the holidays.
