Christmas Eve at Casa de Hernandez

Christmas Eve was wonderful. We had Mom's side of the family over. Instead of a sit-down dinner, we had appitizers. Everyone brought a little something and it worked out perfectly. Here's many pics of our great afternoon together. We're so blessed to have eachother. It's great when we can all be together, especially when two of our familys are out-of-town!

These next pictures are of us sharing "opatki"--a Polish tradition started in our family by our dear Nana. Even though she isn't with us this year, she's with us in spirit through this tradition. The "opatki" is similar to communion hosts and we each say a little something, wishing eachother good health and happiness for the coming year--and counting our blessings for the past. (We go from oldest--or wisest!--to youngest.)
