Christmas Time

Christmas Eve started with a nice brunch at the Sparklings


 then off to church

these two cutie pies!
was a beautiful service...music, message, even a ribbon cirque dancer
finished off with a candle lighting reminding us how God's light is shined through all of us

 was nice to see all the lights throughout the room
 and so nice to share the morning with my Zappos Sister Wives, Michelle and Caron.  Work wouldn't be the same without these two close friends!
Afterwards spent the rest of the day at mom's with the family
 wouldn't be right without a regular and silly family photo
and the mom's cooking, meaning Lola Let and Lola Rose :)  My favorites...Kare Kare
 
lechon
ham
shrimp tempura
 
kids anxiously waiting to open presents...Des minioned out :)
 So much fun with the family! We wish you all had a very Merry Christmas with your loved ones too!  At the end of the night I grabbed this family photo from the church's facebook page.  I was so glad they had a photo station since I really did drop the ball and wasn't motivated in getting Christmas cards done this year, so here it is :)  And it only took one try since it's a line and it moves quick, you can't have them take like 20 which is what it normally takes to get a decent family photo haha!
