Home and Living: Ashton’s First Christmas Celebration | Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas! I’ve been slumped with work lately which I am grateful for but I always wish I have more time to blog leisurely. I hope our greetings are not late, so Merry Christmas again from me and my family! 🙂

I’ve been excited since the 24th with all the preps made-easy, and in attending Ashton’s first Christmas mass. This is our photo at the Church’s belen.

My wacky Christmas hats were a success. Though we were all tired after the meal, we forgot to setup our photo wall. I put all headbands and wacky glasses in a box so everyone could easily reach for them.

My take-away noche buena was also a success: KFC Chicken and Macaroni Salad, Greenwich Lasagna and Pizza, BBQ from Goldilocks, Arny & Dading’s Pichi-Pichi, Tostitos Chips, Garlic Pesto Bread from French Baker, and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

Though my plan of singing karaoke while munching failed because of the TV’s minor glitch.

The change was not bad and the concept of change was one of the key lessons for my family this year. Change whether good or bad is a fact of life and if you learn to deal with it then more unexpected good things await.

Everyone knows my Christmas gift came early, my baby boy Ashton <3 And because Christmas is all about thanksgiving and love, I am so full of the Christmas spirit this year.

I want to thank everyone who supported this blog, my family, my clients, my assistants whom I cannot do anything without, and most of all, to my mom who gives us all the best in life.

Ashton receives his first Christmas money from my mom, Mami Dulce, Auntie Misyel, and Auntie Liza.

Of course, me and my sister also got our yearly Christmas bonus from our mom. This year’s envelopes complete with address labelswere hiding inside the Christmas tree all along!

Christmas is really for kids and kids-at-heart 🙂 To our sister Joni, our niece Anya, and brother Vincent who are all in Australia, we wish you were here!
