Yesterday my mother-in-law (Madre) had what is known as a "Leewah"(sp?) Celebration at her home in Clarkston, which to my understanding is sort of a Trinidadian post-Christmas get-together. After having celebrated this for quite a few years, I should know what it means by now. But Rhian, who has celebrated this all her life, isn't really sure what it is either. Google doesn't help either. Maybe it's my spelling. Well I digress. All of her children, grandchildren, son-in-laws, and some of her friends attended. The food and drinks were quite good along with the company. Rhian's callaloo was a hit. Madre's macaroni pie was a hit as well (as usual). The highlight of the evening was when Christian and his friend Reese (both aged 2) started dancing to the soca music that was playing. They even started playing instruments and formed their own conga line. They got on real bad. ;-) Everybody left full and entertained.

(Jan 23) Side note: It's actually spelled Lewah (Les Rois) meaning feast of the Kings, and is an end of Christmas celebration in Trinidad n Tobago, usually January 6th. (End of the 12 days of Christmas). Now we know! ;-)
