Enchiladas with a side of giggles

Tonight we took Granny to our favorite local Mexican restaurant to soak up the colors and flavors and to meet our friends Paul, Heather, Helena, and Ada. Fiona hadn't seen Helena for three days, and their mood was infectious. They colored, hugged, and crowed with laughter throughout dinner. I think they also ate something.

Nora stayed busy as well. Besides putting away part of Fiona's dinner and also my own, she went on to sample Helena's french fries and even get her first taste of ketchup. There was a lot of musical chairs and repeat dipping going on!

It was as if we'd all known each other forever. The only thing that sent us packing for home was bedtime and our kids' need to move around a little. It was a great night of fun and food and friends. And ketchup!
