We had over 40 people at our house today to celebrate Puerto Rican Commonwealth Day which is actually on July 25, but since we'll be out of town we had to celebrate today. I guess daddy wanted a reason to throw a party so 2 years ago he and mommy started this party and it is now an annual tradition. We've been getting ready all week, but this morning we woke up early at 6:30 to start preparing food. Mommy and daddy made skirt steak sandwiches, pastillos (dough filled with meat), surullitos(sweet corn sticks), and limber de coco(coconut popsicles). Mom let us sample our first Puerto Rican foods and we must say the surullitos and limber de coco were pretty good. We didn't get to eat the pastillos, but you can't say it is for lack of trying. Oh well, maybe next year. We also decorated the backyard, but I got out of having to work by pretending I was napping. Lily helped out though and supervised from the metal bucket. The backyard looked nice so I'd say she did a pretty good job. We also had special outfits for the occasion and everyone said we looked nice. I'd have to agree. Everyone was wiped out after the party, and we heard daddy say that tomorrow we have to clean up. Looks like I may have to take a lot of naps tomorrow. See you next year everyone!!!
