365: Nigerian Christmas



Ange and I went to our second family's Christmas today--our traditional Nigerian feast. Being at the Obeime's made us realize how much we miss our African peeps. We are in a black hole of little diversity in Chico and although we knew this, being in Indiana drove that point home in a huge way. We're sad we didn't get to spend more time with the Obeime's but the few hours we had were a blast! And the food was super delicious! This has been the perfect Christmas all around :)

365: Going Native



Our second social event of the weekend has been described as a very exclusive dinner party where we were instructed to "dress up" to the hilt. Ange doesn't have many dressy clothes (mostly business casual) do I thought matching Native African attire would be our best bet. Plus I have a billion native outfits that I never get to wear so this is a great excuse! Ange is less thrilled but she's playing along because she is AWESOME like that.
