Three kings was over, I had shared how we welcome 2026 but didn't mention about Christmas. I have been so busy these past days as my husband was only here for a month's vacation. Most of the time, I chose to spend time bonding with our little family.
How was our Christmas?
As I mentioned, we didn't host the holidays, so it was a quiet one. He arrived last December 23 and at night we opened his package. Until midnight we are still segregating, keeping it in a storage box and packing mixed goods for his siblings. The next day, 24 he rested almost the whole day.
It was in the afternoon when we go out for a quick errand, buy candies for the kids.
I requested this dish even though I had allergies. Then fruit salad but U forgot to take a photo. However, we didn't set up the table for Media noche. We ate like regular dinner.
At twelve, we went to my mother in law house, just across the street to have a family photo. Sister in law set up a Christmas tree while I didn't because I am sure my sin Caleb will just keep on playing with the ornaments.
Did we had a decent family portrait?
It was so challenging as our son won't stay still. I even find it hard to have a nice pose to angle 🤣.
Thus, at least we had decent photos of him after several retakes. Since I became a Mom, you can seldom see my own pictures in all my social media. Mostly, just our son Caleb.
And our best presents under the Christmas tree!
He got that little rocking pony from his Godmother as a gift.
So far, even our son didn't go into his Godparents house. He received gifts from some of them. Even from his Tito's and Tita's.
That includes cash, clothes and toys.
We deposited the cash into his bank accounts and toys that kept toys that aren't suitable for his age.
Did I received a gift?
Husband's nephew gave me this handmade personal keychain . He was good at such crafts. Also one of my SIL gave me a pack of food as a present.
So far, aside from not being able to go home in the province I'm good. I had nothing to ask as I feel so blessed.
Hoping everyone too feel the same.
