Just some pictures of our Christmas in Chicago! I really like our family tradition. Christmas is kinda HUGE in the Philippines, so Paulette has people over from their ward who have nowhere else to go for the holidays. They have a huge Christmas Eve meal, and after we're stuffed and we've visited for a long while, we sit in a circle and share what we're thankful for about that year. Then, around midnight, they kick everyone out and they open all their presents!
 |
| Paulette, stylin' with the scarf I made her--yes, she's wearing those colors exactly! See how well I know my in-laws? :) |
 |
| Tony, more excited than I thought he'd be at opening our tabletop foosball. |
 |
| Emilie's pretty stoked about her Yoshi backpack, even if almost NOTHING fits inside. :) |
 |
| Paul got his expensive gift wish--a blue ray player! |
 |
| Pretending to be excited about trash bags (the rubic's cube was inside). |
 |
| Emilie wants to be a model. :) |
 |
| Even with being SOOOOOOOO sick (because her grandparents SPOILED HER with all the food she could eat), Obi was a very good girl for Christmas. Her presents will include replaced bones and blankies since she got sick all over them, and a 50-foot leash for playing in the park! |
After all the excitement of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day is mostly spent sleeping and playing with all our new gadgets. Sometimes traveling. Always picture-taking. And eating huge amounts of leftovers. Happy Christmas!
