It's beginning to look festive around our house.
Mom arrived from the Bay Area yesterday, and we've been decorating the house for Bear's baptism party tomorrow night. There are four (!) trees up in our house now, the greenery is up on the mantle, and the mistletoe is up.
The food we're bringing in tomororw night is from our favorite spot on Beacon Hill, El Quetzal. Juan and his wife Elena serve Mexico City street food, and it's out of this world delicious. DH and I have been eating at Juan and Elena's joint since they opened two years ago, and we dig their food. The huaraches are magnificent, and the tortas are to-die-for delicious.
The Coca-Cola we got for the party is from Mexico, too. (Coke conisseurs insist that the Mexican variety is the best because it's made with actual sugar instead of the high fructose corn syrup that Coke bottlers in the US use. We'll find out tomorrow if my friends and family agree.)
We're off to Juan and Elena's place to eat supper and pay for tomorrow's feast. They'll deliver it to the house while we're still at mass, so my brother-in-law and sister are gladly skipping Communion so they can come here and let Juan set up in the kitchen before everyone arrives. (Aww, taking one for the team...ha ha.)
I must away...there are swags to be hung and lights to be lit and pine needles to be vacuumed up!
And tomorrow, there will be a baby to dunk!

I am sure it was a wonderful day with so many memories to cherish. Feliz Navidad too.
Yhat food was awe to the some.
That. I meant "that". "Yhat". Sounds Mexican.
Awwww. I'll bet there won't be a dry eye in the crowd at the baptism. Bear is, hands down, the cutest baby ever.
