Christmas in our hearts

We welcomed Christmas with our real family. With Sister C, Ate A and bro in law's family. Pre's childhood barkada and his family were also present. It was the first time not spending it alone nor with our friends here.

I actually missed our traditional Christmas Eve party where we go to Ninang B's house and then going to mass at the church beside their condo. Hmmm... But being at home, hosting the small party was quite peaceful. It felt "home".

Before I came to Singapore, it's one holiday I was not really looking forward to eversince my mommy-lola died. When I was still in Binan, I would spend it quietly with daddy-lolo, coz Tita E's family goes to Tarlac for that holiday. There was even one Christmas, if I am not wrong, the year before my daddy-lolo died when we hopped in the car and drove to Tagaytay. It was very lonely.

Now, Christmas is something I look forward to because of my family. I want them to enjoy the day, I want it to be special for them. I want my daughters to look forward to it, not because of the presents they will receive, but because of Jesus and of course, the togetherness of the family.

With this, my family and I wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Busy

Bebi A : Daddy, can you make me an airplane? Daddy : Later Ava, I am busy Bebi A : You always say you're busy, you're hurting my feelings... She then put her face down on the sofa. Drama queen!

Being an "ATE"

She calms her down with her soothing voice.  She distracts her with things that will entice her.  Although she would rather use her computer or Iphone.  Ate T is a big help in babysitting.  I feel so happy seeing her bond with Bebi A.  It's because I shortchanged her and I am sorry for that.  I thought she wouldn't be interested in playing with her. But, out of all us, I think she's the most patient with Bebi A.  Wish she could be like that with Ate A hehehe but at least, they bond over tv shows, music and games.  LOL. Thank you, Ate T!
