1st Christmas party
this time, to make everything easier, tita beth with the help of tita leng opted to do the party at golden corral. that way no one wouldn't be needing to prepare the food and the venue. but to make it fun for the kids, they still had games and tons of prizes. i was never able to participate in any since i am too little. hopefully in a couple of years. for about a fourth of the party, i was napping on my mom's arms and never cared about the noise and the hulabaloos happening around me. i was as meek as a lamb. haha. thankfully though i still got to play with my big ates...
i still got to sit on santa's lap (santa tito william)...
overall, i spent my 1st Christmas party with my folks, my titos, titas, ates and kuyas with a blast!
1st Noche buena...
my parents were really glad that they got to host noche buena this year since it's my 1st.
on that day before christmas, i woke up unusually earlier. yeah,talk about excitement. but since i knew that my parents need all 4 hands to do everything fast, i slept all morning. they cleaned the house, cooked (chicken sotanghon soup, beef stroganoff, ham, calamari, egg pies... and good thing dad made the ube halaya the night before), and everything else that a host needs to do. two exhausted bodies after, we're soon preparing and running for the christmas eve mass.
the church was unusually full during the eve mass. yeah, even the cry room. everyone dressed to their sunday's best to attend Jesus' "birthday party" at church. and i wasn't an exception. mostly everyone who saw me commented at how cute i looked. ahem. i tried to behave nicely during the mass, but boredom got through me so i was shrieking in tears. sorry Jesus. sorry dad. sorry mom. sorry everyone in the cry room who wasn't able to concentrate at fr. Dennis' homily.
when we got home, i ate then napped at my parent's bedroom while guests where coming in, one family after another. pretty soon, my titos titas and kuyas and ates are all in our home and already eating. that's when i woke up so i still get to see how they stuffed themselves with the noche buena feast...
how they got into character as they played rockband...
i was able to play with my ates and kuyas...
and charm my titos and titas...
and as usual, the day won't be over without snaps with mi familia here and there...

1st Christmas presents
... which i, with the help of mom and dad, opened on Christmas day.
the day of Christmas was a slow one for dasims. well, 1st coz my parents were just plain exhausted from the preps and the cleaning after that they only got to sleep not til around 5am. at least they were able to talk with both families from pinas. 2ndly, they really didn't plan to go out that day. and lastly, they want to make "open gip" a tradition for Christmas day. and oh my, i got lots of presents from my bgy boise family. they all piled up under the tree as if we haven't distributed the gifts under it prior Christmas day.
i loved them all! thank you all sooo much!
but of course, one gift stood out...
elmo live came from my mom and dad, and oh i love elmo to bits! he's making me giggle a lot!
** more Christmas day pics here
