High School Friends and a Luminaria Walk

Last night my high school friend Jennifer had a party for two other high school friends who live in or near Denver, and our high school friend Andrea, who was visiting from Albuquerque. Andrea has been my best friend since we were in kindergarten together at Our Lady of the Annunciation in Albuquerque. Jennifer made posole and tamales, and we went for a luminaria walk through her wonderful old Washington Park neighborhood. The kids had a ball running through the park and around the lake in the dark, and the houses at night all lit up for Christmas were so festive.

The kids range in age from ten to four.

Catching up with old friends.



Who knew back in high school that all these beautiful kids were in our future?






And last weekend we had a birthday party for my high school friend Tom at our house. No blessing in the world like old friends. We are all so lucky to live near each other and have our kids play together.
