Merry Christmas!

Christmas day is all about family and traditions. Since we were kids, we opened our gifts on the morning of the 25th then have breakfast with the whole family. By noon, we would head out for lunch with my dad's side of the family then dinner is with my mom's side. It is a whole day family affair and it never changed.

The little one was the most excited about the whole Christmas celebration. He's now old enough to understand what's going on. Ever since we put up the tree and started putting gifts underneath, he would check and count everyday how many gifts he has already. He now knows how to read his name so you can't fool him! I was awakened with the little one excitedly shouting by my door, "Wake up Nang-nang! It's time to open the gifts!" You can't say no to that!

It was just pure joy each time he opened a gift...

He has enough toys to last him until his birthday (which is just a week away)!

I got some pretty good gifts myself. We would usually give each other a wish list at the start of the month so we'd know what to get. I left out the big item stuff from my list though since I'd only end up opening 1 gift if I asked them to get me something from my original wish list! Hahaha.

My mom got me the new DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom perfume (yes, it's pink!):

a pair of sandals from Aerosoles (in pink again!):

and more books to add to my collection - the Hunger Games Trilogy boxset, The Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck and The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks:

My brother got me a dress for work:

While my sister got me some beauty stuff:

After opening all our gifts, we had our traditional ham, queso de bola, croissant and hot chocolate for Christmas breakfast...

That was just our morning and we're in for more fun and family love as we head out to our reunions for the rest of the day. Christmas is indeed my favorite holiday of the year! :)
