Christmas Eve 2013

By | Christmas | No Comments

I knew I was not going to be able to make it for Christmas dinner at Lolo’s house so I went there in the afternoon to take photos!  I am so glad I did! I like coming during the calm before the storm! 🙂

There was mass by Father Caluag and a program by the 4th Generation.  We arrived at the end of the program already.  A few snapshots of that evening

We had the usual dimsum which I did not put here anymore.  I liked how the spring roll was shaped and presented

And of course the crab that we had
