Christmas Day Festivities

We enjoyed a Colombian-themed Christmas lunch with two other families whose children are also adopted from Colombia. Dan and Amy and their daughter Abby joined us, as did Chandler, his friend Noah and sons Brian and Joe. I made arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) and arroz con lentejas y coco (coconut rice with lentils), and we rounded out the meal with takeout from a Colombian restaurant in Elizabeth and Noah's delicious Mexican tangerine pork! Later in the afternoon we went over to our neighbors Liz and Nick's house, and enjoyed a wonderful international potluck with other friends and neighbors. It was a fabulous first Christmas Day in South Orange!
