It's a sad Christmas this year. Our family was not complete last Christmas Eve. Ate Cel, Dong, Olec, and Tita Ops stayed in Naga. We tried to make it as happy as we can for the kids. They still got the toys they wanted from Santa. I felt awkward during the gift-giving session. Maybe because I really felt incomplete.

We had Tita Andie and Tito Roger's family as guests. They are Daddy Jun's relatives. Tito Roger is our ninong.

I prepared Pancit Malabon, Grilled Chicken Wings, Honey Garlic Prawns, Mixed Veggies and Quail Eggs, and Lumpiang Shanghai. I wasn't in a picture-taking mood that night. I only shot a few pictures for you to see. I slept by 1am. I didn't even bothered to wait for our guests to leave. Guess I was just so tired and lonely.

This Christmas Day we went to Sucat to visit my father-in-law. The kids got gifts from Papa Lolo and Lola Nanet. Before heading home, we granted CJ's request to go to SM Mall of Asia. It was so crowded that they were not even able to play at Time Zone. We stayed by the bay instead and went home by 8pm. We were not able to visit my parents and siblings at Pasig anymore. We visited them last Dec. 23 during the Granmama's Foodstop (my Mama's canteen) Christmas party. Hope they liked our gifts.
