Christmas Eve Noche Buena 2012

After dinner, we rush for mass at Lolo Benny’s house.  Lolo makes sure that we all spend Christmas with him because he also makes it a point to be back in the country so he can spend it with us

I love it!!!  Tita Nedy brought some Christmas animals to celebrate with us 🙂

And they were part of our picture taking session 🙂

I got my wish too and we also had a choreographed Family photo with the help of my cousins, Catherine, Nina and Katrina.  They hired a photographer, Tito Patrick put up the lights and we had an hour of picture taking with Lolo!

Katrina prepared different pegs but she eventually went with these

Our props 🙂  Thanks Kat for organizing this

And here we are 🙂

And some of my photos

I love it that Nic Nic loves Golden Spoon!!  I caught her getting her Golden Spoon for dessert 🙂

This year we had a late dinner after mass and after picture taking!  Very nice!

Then we had Christmas songs during dinner 🙂

Then we greeted each other at 12 midnight!!!  Afterwhich we went up to play Tombola – sort of like Bingo but an Italian version

Thank you to Tita Nedy for organizing this and for the wonderful prizes

Our guest from Italy won!  The prizes were bags from Marc Jacob, Ferragamo and Gucci

Lucky Kathleen!! 🙂

And there was still a noche buena spread upstairs!!!  WOW!!! We still all ate again after Tombola 🙂

Still partly covered because they thought we would not eat – BUT WE DID! haha

Pasta Gliceria which is my request always!! We all love this!!  Thanks Tita Len for making sure this is always in the menu!! YUM!
