Love babies!!! Our newest additions to the family
We usually go to Lola Charing on Christmas Eve, so that is something we will all miss. All my life, every year, we visited Lola every Christmas Eve.
Previous entry: Celebrating Christmas Visiting Lola Charing January 5 2009
So this year I am so happy we still celebrated with the family and we celebrated an early Christmas with the Lopezes. It’s so much nicer to celebrate early so it’s not too stressful and we are not rushing 🙂
Christmas Family Dinner in this beautiful garden. We grew up here since we used to live here when Dad and Mom had to travel. Many childhood memories with cousins 
Ever since Lola Charing passed away, we have seen our cousins often this year and it’s nice because being together reminds me of Lola. She will always be with us in spirit and in our hearts

My cousin, Keith Cole, Marketing Head of Starbucks @starbucksph inside the Venti Van! 
This van goes around and does sampling. They can make coffee and Frappuccinos inside this bus 🙂 It’s airconditioned too
They had a cheer party for everyone in the office!! Yipee!! I wish it were like this in the office everyday 🙂 
I love Starbucks anything – Starbucks is always happiness 
This year has been a blessing for the “Baboons” (I think we should change our group name! haha!!!) We were able to see each other many times during the year despite our busy schedules
I love it that the boys are so game in coming in theme!! These two handsome guys took it so seriously! haha!!! Pael and James!! Pael in red and green and James in red until the shoe!
Lilli bringing a red dress for Jeanne who came in black!
The girls with the early bird guy – Pael – how lucky is he? 🙂
I told Lills that her Christmas tree decor does not match her dining room decor! ( she’s going to kill me already haha!! I am just teasing her ) 
We always eat in this table because Lills always opens her house to us whenever we are hungry!!! 🙂
She always brags about her homemade creations – that night was her iced tea
The Titas of Manila toasting with hot water!!!! OMG!!! haha!!
FONDUE!!!! We had maybe 10 fondue meals this year!!! 
And maybe 20 lasagnas by Anto which is our most favourite!!!! THE BEST! Previous entry: Lasagna Made with Love by Anto January 4, 2015
YUM!!!!
The theme was red and green. Firstly I told them it’s too corny because it’s a typical Xmas theme. :-O Second, The color of the Xmas decor is blue and silver so we are clashing with the Xmas tree :-O Third, some are colorblind so there’s black, teal, maroon and orange!! haha!! I was so upset!! :-O But LOVE them all still and had a nice evening with the gang
Wait a minute – how come their gifts are bigger than mine from Eds? haha!!
Love our personalised gifts from Bulgin and Lills- this was a hint already of their gift to us
They used it as their gift card
