HOLIDAY SEASON 2015

As I wake up on the first day of new year, I ponder on my life last 2015 and how to achieve my new goals for 2016. Looking back...We thank Our Good Lord for all the blessings we have received, memories kept and lessons learned from the past year. May the year 2016 be a wonderful and bright year to us all!

FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY 2014

It's the most wonderful time of the year and it's the happiest season of all as the song says. Christmas is the season of spreading good cheer, of spending time with your family and of sharing, caring and giving.

For us, Christmas is the best time for family reunion. This season, we held it in my Aunt's place in Malabon. My cousins organized the event. There are family and kids games, song and dance presentations, and of course our favorite part of the program...the raffle prizes :). Here are some of our photos:

CHRISTMAS: A TIME FOR FAMILY REUNION

Christmas is the season of spreading good cheer, of spending time with your family and of sharing, caring and giving. We are indeed thankful for having been blessed with a good family and great kids.

Every Christmas, we take every opportunity to bond with our family and make the most of our relations with them. We spent most of the day in my hometown. There were a lot of activities prepared for the entire day. We had exchange gifts and made the afternoon lively with our selection of traditional parlor games.

CHRISTMAS IN MY HOMETOWN

Did you enjoy your Christmas celebrations with family, loved ones and friends?

We really had so much fun in celebrating Christmas with the whole family in my hometown. Aside from the gift giving distributed by those generous family members, we also had our yearly exchange gifts which are now divided into two parts. The first part is for the kids and the other one is for us. Everybody was happy in receiving their wish gifts. We hosted party games for both the kids and adults. Thank you so much for our special guests for sponsoring the major prizes and to all who contributed for the additional prizes.

Here's a glimpse of our Christmas photos:

MOMMY MOMENTS - LAST CHRISTMAS

Last christmas, a traditional maternal family reunion was held in my hometown. After so many years, we were able to visit my paternal relatives and it was a joy to see all of them again.

It has been a stressful day for me as i need to entertain visitors and look after my little girl simultaneously. My hubby has work that day and just followed us in the afternoon. She doesn't want to be with anybody else except me and her Dad.

It was non-stop eating and chitchatting with relatives and friends.

Only 22 days to go and we will celebrate this holiday season once again with the whole family. Let us not forget the true meaning of christmas...share our love and blessings to everyone.

Advance Merry Christmas to my dear bloggers and readers!!!
