Sooper Dooper Late

I haven't greeted you Merry Christmas.
My apologies. Feeling a little bit bitter since I can't be with my darling husband on such a festive occasion.

How was your Christmas?

For me, I spent the day helping out my mother in the kitchen, cooking. Yes, I cook. Betcha didn't know that. Well, you wouldn't find me in the kitchen all the time. I hate smelling like food and I don't like my hands oily.

In the afternoon, I fixed the presents to save time once the gift giving starts.

There it is, halfway done with the presents. There's just too much! Only means our fmaily is growing! Well, it has stopped. They won't and shouldn't be expecting anymore kids from me.

Then we heard the 8pm mass in Forbes. How I wish we had our wedding here! Oh well, as what they always say, it's never about the wedding BUT the marriage. That's true.
Oh, here's something I found online, you might want to consider ordering cheap wedding invitations. Click on the link!



Now here's a photo of me and boy.


After eating, the kids started demanding to open the presents already. We started picking the names and kids couldn't wait for their names to be picked.

Our present for Monica was a Crayola Playdesk that can be converted from desk, to a magnetic whiteboard, to an easel. Plus the seat is adjustable and attached! That's good thing so the chair would just stay in place.

We gave Mateo a cheap bowling set. Being a boy, I always find him throwing toys and I get really pikon. I hate it when things get destroyed. And the battery-operated toys they have are not cheap so why I should we give him more toys to throw? I've consulted with the husband and I've decided to just buy him a cheap bowling set so he's licensed to throw it.

As for the Santa present, we only bought one. We explained to Monica that Santa wants the toy to be for sharing. Well, in reality, we didn't wanna spend on a gift Mateo wouldn't understand. He knows Santa yes, but he doesn't know the "essence" of receiving a gift form him.

We bought the kids a bike good for two. And it's been serving the kids well. And me, too! When they ride on it, aah.. quiet time for me!
Super worth it. I got it cheap at only Php 2200!

Total wallet damage for Christmas 2009: Php15,000 - Php 17,000
Haay...
No matter how much you try to save and spend less, it just won't work!

But it's all good.
