Merry Christmas to all!
We had a couple of our close friends over for Christmas dinner last night. It was a small but wonderful gathering. Hubby cooked up a turkey that was fit for a king, and I made some pancit and lumpia. Hubby also made some stuffing and gravy, and for deserts, we had leche flan, cake, and rice cakes. Everyone brought something; we had ham, fried rice, pasta salad, and so much. As we settled in for a tremendous feast, not just what we made, hubby regaled us with his take on travel to the Philippines. He had everyone in stitches! The conversation then followed to thoughts of Christmas past and wonderful friendships shared today. And, the vegetables hubby roasted with the turkey will actually make it to the soup this year! After dinner, the kids took the time to open some gifts, which provided some awesome fun! Of course, it ended all too soon, as most gatherings do. Everyone had to get home before Santa made his rounds!
Today was a busy one. It started with Jasmine wanting to open her gifts. She amped herself up on Christmas excitement. We had so much fun watching her open her gifts! Every gift accompanied by the exclamation that it was "The best ever!" Of course, there were gifts from mommy and daddy, our wonderful landlady, friends, and of course, Santa Claus himself. After the initial rush was over and the family fed, it was time to finish the cleanup from last night. Then hubby spent the rest of the day fixing up the photos. This Christmas has been one so full of blessings and friendship! I have to thank God for all that he has given us. His goodness, grace, and love are abundant in our life and made this season even more joyous than ever.
Well, here are the photos.

Aloha and spooky greetings to all!
Well, Halloween is actually over. Now it's time to sit back and coast until Thanksgiving. Hubby has a tradition that we can't put up the Christmas tree until the day after Thanksgiving. I told him “When the 'Ber months are here, we need our tree,” but he just doesn't get it.
Anyway, last night was Halloween. We picked hubby up from work and went to our library's party. Wow, they know how to do a Halloween party. Everyone was in costume, and the decorations were amazing. Jasmine was so excited, she ran off to join the other kids playing and running. It was so loud with the kids, the music, and the recorded screams and haunts. We ran into my friends Monica and Evangeline, and their children. Jasmine was so happy to see her friends and to be able to play with them without anyone restraining her! Hubby wandered around taking random pictures of the people. Of course, most of his photos were of our little pirate princess, Jasmine. He always seemed to be missing or lost, yet he managed to get some great shots of our darling. He even got a couple of me!
After the library party, we went trick or treating in the local area. Jasmine managed to pull in quite a load of "pirate booty!" We ran into a couple more friends while we were out and about, and managed to arrange to meet up at the local activity center. The activity center was abuzz with kids playing, parents chatting, cooking, and other general sounds of a community enjoying the fruits of life and labor. Jasmine and her friends went off to play the games, and managed to get even more candy and prizes!
We ate some good food prepared for the occasion. Hubby loves his hot dogs, so I got him a couple. He insisted hot dogs should only have mustard and relish, never ketchup! But he ate them anyway because he appreciated my effort. (He also got a couple more by himself without the ketchup.)
All the time, hubby was taking photos of everything, Jasmine was running and laughing with her friends, I was enjoying the time spent with my friends, and the whole community was having a truly wonderful night!
I'd like to take the time to thank everyone involved for all your hard work and dedication. It was really appreciated. Your houses were so nice, the party was so beautiful, and all the people were a perfect joy.
I'll be posting some photos tomorrow on Bavarian Angel. But here's a pic to get you started.
