Daphne and Alexa started playing with some trucks and cars - it was very cute:
Here is where half the group goes outside with candles and sings to the group inside. They are supposed to be like Mary and Joseph asking to be let in on Christmas Eve - and the group inside finally lets them in. 
Luis hangs out of his 2nd floor window to hold the rope that the piñata is attached to. It was funny in real life. To me, at least.
Ok, only for a Mexican party would 15 kids bundle up in 30 degree weather to hit at a piñata. Plus, the piñata appeared to be a pink Easter bunny with its head half hanging off. Between Luis hanging out of his window, all of us shivering, and the kids whacking at a poor pink bunny - it was really pretty funny!
Chaos when the piñata broke. Em and Lex usually have it pretty easy going for the candy. Here, they were up against 15+ other Mexican kids (aka, professional piñata candy grabbers) - but they still fared pretty well. It was endearing to see Emma jumping into the mix and actually grabbing candy for Alexa and putting it in Alexa's bag for her. They may bicker all the time, but they sure do stick up for each other when times get tough!

In México, still it is a very exciting experience for kids.
Many years ago, when I was a kid, there were 9 days, from december 16 to 24, when people made "posadas". Each day in different house, cousins, grandparents, neighbours, etc. We could had the 9 parties of the season. So we kids adquired experience and strategies between brothers and sisters.
