What do I know.

  Happy Groundhog Day!! In celebration of Groundhog Day and Rosca de Reyes we had a wonderful feast.  In Mexico they used to? still do celebrate Christmas differently.  Instead of Santa bringing gifts on Christmas Eve the Three Wisemen bring gifts on January 6 and put them in the children's shoes.  As part of the festivities they have a delicious bread in the shape of a beautiful wreath.  A little baby Jesus is baked inside of the bread and who ever is served the piece with the baby Jesus is said to be blessed.  In return for the wonderful blessing they are expected to have a feast for their friends/family on February 2nd.  Beautiful Bread I n honor of our Christmas guest, Ana Maria, my mom tried to have this wonderful tradition.  Although it was her first try. My mom's beautiful bread. It tasted delicious, and I lucked out by being blessed with the Baby Jesus in my piece.  So I planned an amazing Rosca de Reyes - ...

I can't say I feel comfortable with marking this one off, but I"m going to anyway.  For one full week I left my house for work with or wearing high heels.  How long they stayed on, and where they ended up by the end of the day I can't say.  But I can say, it is incredibly, horribly, painful.  The level of cuteness, and girlieness did not surpass the pain. Where my high heels ended up by the end of the week. so painful so cute

Sadly, I didn't achieve this goal by my birthday, but I was able to attend the temple a number of times before my birthday, and am confident I'll reach this one in the near future.  There is nothing more peaceful than the spirit of the temple.   10% of the way there!
