On Christmas day...

For Christmas this year, we attended the Christmas mass at Our Lady of Mercy. The front of the church was decorated with an elaborate poinsetta arrangement and a potted poinsetta hanging every side column from the front to the back of the whole church. Two huge christmas trees stand on each side of the big cross that is the reason for the whole celebration. It was really cold out but the inside of the church was warm and comfortable.

Afterwards, we had lunch at Dai Tung Chinese Restaurant for an elaborate lunch to mark the birth of Christ. The whole meal was really good with each dish better than the next and ending with a tasty fried rice to fill up all our tummies.

It was finally time to visit Uncle Alfonso and Auntie Felissa's house for their gift opening traditions. The kids tore opened their presents excitedly and immediately tried on their new boots. they also got their favorite Dora toys, not just a doll but a wholed house with seperate furnitures too fill up the whole house. Kimi was already asleep then, exhausted from all the excitement of playing during lunch time. She lay contentedly in her car seat without an inkling that it is Christmas day.
