Christmas Vacation in Ohio

Emma and I made it to Ohio on Saturday morning. Emma did really good during our flight and John and Nancy were there to pick us up from the airport. Emma recognized them immediately and was excited to see them again.

We had Gramp and aunt Jan over for dinner on Saturday. We enjoyed tamales de chile colorado and tamales de dulce that I had made back home and Emma had yogurt for the first time.

Here's Gramp entertaining Emma:

With Aunt Jan:Grammy feeding Emma yogurt for the first time (notice Emma's Christmas tree hat, this is a gift from Muriel, our nextdoor neighbor):

Yesterday John's sister and nephew drove over two hours to meet Emma and spend the afternoon with us. They brought Christmas gifts and a huge tray of sugar cookies and peanut fudge! We had a Mexican lunch (my dad's birria and salsa) and I showed them how to prepare their tacos with lime, meat, salsa, onions, cilantro and salt. After a cup of coffee and cookies, we opened our Christmas gifts. Emma was very excited to tear the wrappng paper and try to chew on the bow. Gooffy girl!

We had a great time and we are really gratefull that aunt Mary and Evan got to visit us!
