... and so did the snow. For the first time in eight years, we had to postpone our tradition of eating another culture's food for dinner. There was too much snow to get together with our friends, Graham and Cookie. So, we decided to eat American for Christmas (hot dogs and mac n cheese). We finally had our traditional dinner Friday night - South African. It was surprisingly one of our favorites: appetizer - shrimp and watermelon salad | lobster soup | entree - beef curry with mango chutney, bananas, yogurt sauce | sides : yellow rice with raisins, pan fried sweet potatoes, mealie (corn) bread | dessert - brandy, bread pudding. South Africa's Christmas falls in the middle of summer so we might try this meal again in warm weather - it was that good.
Maya: The wolf book from Santa was really nice. And I really like the movie of Arctic Tale. I like all my new clothes. I really like it when Grandma Patty sent me new clothes. The tattoo machine is really cool. I never had a tattoo machine! I really like my new camera from Cookie, my friend. I like Graham too. He is really goofy. I really like the Peep puzzle from Karen.
Evan: I like my castle. I like the dinosaur egg. I like the timber frame because it can come apart. That's all.
