1st Christmas in our new home

The Christmas season usually comes and goes so quickly we don’t get to enjoy it. This year we took time off from work to celebrate the holidays and recharge. Having my family in town is simply the best! Being able to go to sleep knowing they will be around when I wake up brings a smile to my face. Yes I won’t lie, knowing that I am going to eat a Filipino breakfast of pandesal, fried rice with garlic, pork tocino and eggs is nice too.
Christmas Eve was pleasant, we attended mass at a local church.
Back at home we had a scrumptious feast. My mom was cooking all day and night while Ronnie, Kel and I were supervising. It’s what we do best; you don’t want to be in the kitchen with my mom. 
Christmas was relaxing. You know you are an adult when you sleep in on Christmas morning, you need coffee to open presents, Christmas morning becomes all about the dogs, you don’t get toys nowadays you get kitchen gadgets and socks.
Opening presents is still one of the best feelings in the world...Wrigs seems to think so too.
Its official, my husband thinks I need to work out! Just kidding, but I did get a fancy GPS sports watch and bright pink running shoes for Christmas. So after everyone was full of caffeine and smiles, we headed out the door on a family walk. 

The sun was shining so we ventured out on the course. It felt good to stretch our legs out and slim our bellies. The dogs seemed to have a great time sniffing and walking off some lbs too.

What a wonderful few weeks we have had. Another fun-filled holiday season in the books.
That’s a wrap folks!
