Thanks to this family right here, we had a wonderful Christmas! The guy on the right is Jesus's cousin, Uki. Next to him is his wife, Karen and her family. Since we just moved to Dallas, it worked out great for us to go and spend Christmas with Karen's family in Houston. We've always loved Jesus's cousin and his wife so much that now living only 3.5 hours apart is very exciting!
Christmas began with PJs and El Salvadorian sandwiches. How lucky am I to keep getting new Latin family members?! A Mexican sister in law, A Dominican husband, a Peruvian aunt and now an El Salvadorian cousin in law! I love learning about different cultures, practicing my Spanish and eating all of their traditional foods. That last part's my favorite!
The next day we drove to the island of Galveston, TX on the gulf to see a big lights display at Moody Gardens. Oh but first the food, here's the traditional El Salvadorian breakfast with beans, sweet plantains, eggs and sour cream.
The weekend continued with a visit to Houston's China town, Joaquin and Uki playing in the pool, and a local Mexican taco spot with these amazing carne asada fries. Thanks Karen and Uki, next time we will see you here in Dallas!

| Read the caption of this sign posted around China town. While this may be serious, I still laughed at the warning of he will "make you fall in love" with him. |
