Christmas 2011

I can't help but feel a little different last Christmas. It could be because I'm again missing Mama. This is our 2nd Christmas without her. But she's at a better place I know, and in fact, she's with the birthday celebrant. She's sure happier in heaven. Another reason it is a little different is we weren't able to shop for gift items to give to our friends and family. It was like everything was in a rush. 

Our Christmas day was busy and fun! We first went to hubby's aunt in Project 8. Photo shows Auntie Estela, Kuya Robert behind, Ate Keanna, Gabby, Kate, Roey, Tatay and Kenneth.

 Then we're off to Howmart Road and had a blast of fun. I didn't know my relatives are having a Christmas party that day so I decided to just purchase lots of candies to share instead. The girls had so much fun playing, singing and dancing. We had a great time laughing during the exchange gift giving part of the party.

 Roey was really excited to be with her "mama" Jham Jham and Kuya Jeremy. Keanna was in excitement to play with Chi and Adhara too.

My "rich" girls tried counting the blessings (in the form of money) given to them. I am their treasurer of course, just like every mom. =)

We also visited my cousins and aunts the next day at Muñoz, Quezon City the next day. We also had fun singing and chit-chatting.

When I was little, I call Aunt Baby my Auntie-Ninang (Aunt and Godmother at the same time). In this photo together, I can see her resemblance with Mama. That has made me miss Mama more.

To sum it up, we had a fun filled Christmas! As long as the kids are happy, I am happier!
