Costa Rican Christmas
Here we are for Christmas dinner at Laura's Grandmother's house in San José, Costa Rica. From left to right: Jessica-one of the ladies that helps take care of Grandma, Adela, Dennis, GAbuela (grandma), Paco (Laura's uncle), Patricia (a friend), Adrian (Laura's only cousin), Patricia (Laura's Aunt) and Laura in front.The tradition down there is to eat dinner at midnight on Christmas eve. We got a late start so we didn't start until about 12:45. The weather was wonderful. It was pretty much a constant 72 degrees the whole week. We only were able to stay for a week, but we had a lot of fun. We were able to meet up with Julie and Gretchen for a day before they left for the beach. Everytime we're down there we start thinking, 'what would it take for us to move down here?'
