Christmas 2011
Christmas is for the children. Since achi is bigger now and she is already starting to appreciate Christmas trees and Santa Claus, we made this year's Christmas a little better than last year. Tatay prepared our Christmas tree while we were still in Isabela. I just added some more house decors when we arrived.
The concept of Santa Claus was also introduced. That he gives gifts to children who are good throughout the year. When we asked what she wanted Santa Claus to give her, she answered that she wanted a big bear... and that's what she got.
We were not able to have Noche Buena. We were all tired on the 24th that we were still too tired to get up to eat. Actually, Migs and I ate at around 12:30 since I was already hungry. The girls woke up early on the 25th and so they opened their gifts early.
Siobe enjoyed tearing the wrappers of her gifts. She received a lot of gifts but she likes achi's gifts more. Achi and Siobe's Ninang Fai and Ninang Leah drop by early to give their gifts. Siobe got a look-alike doll while Achi opened her big bear last.
We were late for Christmas mass but we still dropped by the church. We went to Pacita after to visit the rest of the family. We got home at around 8pm already. We were so tired that after we were dropped off, we immediately went to bed and woke up the next day.
