{Noche Buena}

This was our first time hosting Christmas Eve, or Nochebuena-the Good Night- and that means Filipinos all over the world were having a feast. We did not travel to Vidalia this year. Instead my parents and  brother drove up to Atlanta to join us and my sister who recently moved to Atlanta (who by the way owns this fabulous apartment:)). We went to church in the afternoon and had dinner at our house. I can't believe I didn't took pictures of our feast---Lechon Asado(Roasted Pork), Grilled Milkfish, chicken macaroni salad, pancit(lo mein), ham(from Honeybaked) and Adobo. I must say, I did well and not bad at all for my first time attempt at cooking a traditional feast.  Ed was loving the roasted pork and we plan to make this a yearly tradition.

William was so happy that he can finally open some of the Christmas bags/gifts.
The lil drummer boy!
Our family photo.
My sister opening her "surpise" (she asked for it) gift. :)

I love this sweater for Mom.
Cute sweater from my parents.
Nike running hat for my brother.

I can't believe that I didn't take any picture of my Dad. He was sitting next to me and I just forgot to snap his way :(

On another note, I asked my brother to take a picture of me in my Christmas Outfit. I found this Michael Kors dress for a great deal and I was just soooo proud of my self for finding a great bargain. Love, love finding classic and good quality clothes for so lil $$:)
