My December was busy. Right.. I think everybody's December was busy. LOL.
December 17. It's my cousin's daughter's birthday. I missed out on the SBA night, but well.. it's Hannah's 7th birthday.. and its a family event. It was held at a beach resort at Guintas, Hamtic, Antique. The birthday girl's beautiful. The place's great. The food's delicious. We had a blast! 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon and it was time to go home. Guintas is 40 kilometers away from home. I was supposed to stay there for one night to bond with my cousins, but little Sophia (my niece) was going to throw a fit if I don't go home with them. So I went home with them. Bummer. Oh well.. :)
December 25. Christmas! It's Jesus' birthday! The time for giving.. At 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon, as part of family tradition, we held a children's party at our backyard. There were food and games and GIFTS for the neighborhood kids.
December 31. Midnight. NEW YEAR! I was busy comforting my dogs by "baby-talking" and petting them.. they were shivering because of fear. Those firecrackers were too loud! I know I shouldn't have done that.. I was reaffirming to them that they should be scared of those loud noises.. but they're shivering! And those eyes! Those big, round, puppy-dog eyes! So.. there. I forgot to take pictures of what little fireworks we have.
January 1. Day 1. First Sunday. 2012. We attended mass. In the evening, my Dad and I went to my cousin's house and joined the fun. Cousin Gorge's going to Bacolod the next day. Cousin Lyn's going back to Manila, too. So we ate, drank, sang and danced the night away! It was one great party!
Toodles!
What a lovely roundup of those memorable pictures you had. Sighs. How I wish I could have the same kind of life.
ReplyDeleteOn the lighter note, hope to see you on the next SBA.
