Our Christmas Eve

.. with Joaqui and Dominique started a little early than most families. Im afraid that Joaqui will sleep anytime that evening since he wasn't able to take a nap in the afternoon. It was a simple one for our family. My sister ordered spaghetti, I bought loaves of bread and choco cake from Aggy's and whipped a fruit salad the last minute.

Gelo and I are wearing our usual "pambahay" outfit , so no pictures of us :) Joaqui was suppose to wear a new set of PJ's with hints of the color red, but he told me that he doesn't like it, but instead wore this one as shown in the pics. ( he's the boss when it comes to his clothes and shoes). Dominique on the other hand simply can't do anything when it comes to her outfit , as in , i'm the boss, LOL.

Here's some pics..




We started it with Joaqui blowing the candle at the cake for Jesus. I wanna make it a tradition in our family from now on. I want the kids to remember that above anything else, Christmas is the birthday of Jesus, and HE is the star of the show. (never mind the pink candle hahaha)

With the super sleepy Dominique. She needs to have a pic with Kuya , and of course, dont forget the headband!


Notice some pics are a bit dark? I think it has something to do with our lighting at home. I gotta find a way to improve it before New Year.

And here's some more pics of Kuya that night..

* at the gate while waiting for Santa *

I asked him to close his eyes before i pulled Santa's gift from the box

He can't get enough of his Tickle Me friends !

We were already in bed by 12 midnight. Though it was just our small family who welcomed Christmas at home ( my sister and the helpers went to mass) , it's indeed one of the best for me coz I spent it with the people I call MY LIFE.

Hope you all had a meaningful Christmas with your families !

The Reason for the Season

Signing off now. I wanna spend more time with the kids starting today (and I need to get gift wrappers for Santa's gifts ). May you have a great time with your family too !

Gelo, Peachy , Joaquin and Dominique

I was busy taking pictures around the house coz I need to show this year's decors to my mom. Look at my boy, trying to imitate me with his own cheapo camera toy that we grabbed at Timezone. And here's Santa at the swing, just the same as last year , but with few new ornaments from my mom.






Finally, I was able to post some of our home decors :)

Whatta Party!..

Yeah, early birds kami as in! Afetr joaquin's calss at TLG, we had late lunch at Mcdo El Pueblo then decided to got ot Greeneblt since there's nothing else to do. Gelo picked up his reserved jacket from Shangrila during the class, Nice and I cancelled our meet up and decided to ship the items na lang for a hassle free sunday :) So yeah.. we were at Greenbelt at 330 - 4 pm I guess. The little boy was asleep then so easy window shopping for us. The daddy invited me to check out the LV Store, asus! He's checking on some wallets.. hmm, wala pa tayong pambili nyan. I am looking for the Coach store.. San ba yun? I need to compare their prices with the online store. LOL.

So at 4:30, we were at Mcdo already! LOL! We stayed at the cafe, and 5 mins later, Apols arrived. Chika chiakng konti. Joaqui was already at the party area when the party before ours are still packing. Crasher! LOL!

And when all of the mommies with their kids and hubbies arrived, hay , ang ingay na! LOL! Chika dito , chika dun! The kids are everywhere! Happiness talaga! Gelo and I had so much fun! And the little boy too. Grabe, naka 2 kiss sya agad kay Sandy ha! Ano ba yan Joy! Ang bilis ng anak ko , LOL! I enjoyed the games.. oh and i love the gifts we received. Thanks Jane for the Bags.. love the colors and prints.. And to Aggie's Mato for the Barney DVD's! Salamat, we have something new to watch for tomorrow!

And to all the mommies.. nice meeting you and your families. And super thanks sa mga bumili sa kin! I model nya yan sa blog nyo! Hahaha! Thanks Apols for organizing this ha.. Sana next time, purely chikahan portion na ang mommies! :) I'll be back with more chikas about the party! Need to hit the sack!

Addicted!

** posing with the Santas.. Parang turista! LOL **

** the christmas village.. Aggie.. bili ka na! **

** The 2 tall santas (made of fiber glass) are the ones that we got last Tuesday.. It's already displayed in our living room, and we placed a light bulb inside **

** the little boy can't get enough.. he even kissed this one **

** our countertop decors.. The plate is just php 50, while the cookie jars 75 each.. not bad **

So As of today, we are decided not to have a tree anymore.. we are sticking with our theme for this year.. Everything Santa Claus! But wait, how about the christmas village? I wanna have it too! LOL. I'll add on small Santas around the village maybe..

Hello Santa Claus!

We bought this at The Christmas Factory along Lacson St. near Nagtahan Bridge. Sorry , I don't have the exact address, I will post their contact number later. Ang daming Santa Claus, some are made of paper mache, then some are fiber glass. We got this one for only 750php, including the christmas lights and the garland na. As in yan na sya! Weeeehhh! We were supposed to get the santa in a sleigh with 2 reindeers for 1K, pero wala ng stock, so we will call them on friday if there's one available na. Tip lang if you want to visit them, for sure may mabibili kayo, so bring cash, im not sure if they accept credit cards or debit cards. we ran out of cash, kaya yan na lng muna, at wala ng lalagyan pa sa compartment ng car. Leave me a message if you have questions. I wasnt able to take pics of the items, super excited ako at the store, considering I was carrying Joaquin coz he was asleep then. :)

Now, I can feel Christmas!

starstruck on a sunday afternoon

After Joaquin's class at the Little Gym, we went to Podium to have our Samsonite hand carry repaired. We have requested for a replacement of the handle, It's kinda long story, basta it needs to be repaired hehehe :)

Anyway, a few moments after we checked out Samsonite, I was starstrucked! With none other than Ms. Mikee Cojuangco - Jaworski! My idol for life in flesh.. A few steps away from me. Syempre pasimple lang, nasa Podium ako eh hehehe! They were heading the escalator with her 2 kids, Hubby Dodot and 2 - 3 bodyguards. Didn't spot a Yaya at all, she doesnt even carry designer bag, actually no bag at all. She's in a red satin blouse which is kinda loose, is she preggy? Then she's wearing a cream cotton pants. Gelo spotted her diamond earrings! LOL. I was just looking at her face. Lovely, pretty, beautiful, goddess.. lahat na! Her hair is neatly pony tailed. Too bad , I wasn't able to check on her footwear, LOL. People were also pasimple pa looking at her family. Let's not talk about Dodot anymore, gwapo per super taba na nya, hahaha! The kiddos are really handsome.. they look like Mikee.

Anyway, we then went to Living Well, and Sale ang Sleepcare Pillows!!! Php 750 Buy One Take One for the queen sized ones! The regular price per piece is 480. Not bad. The ones for kids is not on sale though, it's 280 each, 15 x 20. Super dami items on sale! We will be back next week after the class , i'm gonna buy for my MIL naman :)

And di pa natatapos jan ang sunday ko, we went to the Christmas factory at Lacson near Nagtahan. Why? You'll see...

How was your week?
