is what my darling 7 year old said when I told her it was time to get ready for the ward Christmas party. True, she did attend the work Christmas party "Breakfast with Santa " earlier that morning, however thats no way to react to a party! If I had known how the evening would have gone my response would have been similar.
The Barrio uno Navidad Fiesta began at 6 pm we were running a little late but we werent too worried because we know how things run here in Spain. Aparently 3 months living here realy isnt a full knowleged of how things go because I never would have thought...!
We arived to see half the ward sitting out in the halls WAITING and the other half scurring around covering tables, and cutting bread etc. We were alowed into the hall at about 8 pm for the show to start. Thats right the talent show (NOT DINNER) about 1 more hour and we were served bread, cold soup, and something described to us only as letuga. However it tates like the sauce on a big mac made into a chilled soup and toppped with shrimp. Not too bad if you dipped your bread into it and pretended there was an all beef patty in there somwhere!
Dan had left before we were seated to get his sister from the train station. (She and a friend are here visiting for a few weeks) He missed all the fun. The Microphone squeeled so badly and the talent was SOOOO raw! My girls and the other American girls got the Spanish kids to do a line dance at the talent show and at about 10 pm Dan couldnt find a parking spot again so we left. Aparently dinner was served at 10:30 pm and the party wasnt over until 2am.
That was CRAZY!
