Christmas photos

Since a couple of Christmases ago, we have started the tradition of having our Christmas photos taken. We still haven't gotten the chance to have our family photo taken mainly due to lack of time. I hope we'd be able to take one before the year ends.

Sue, Meng and I had the chance to have some shots taken at the lobby of Makati Shangri-la Hotel. Thanks Sue for taking our photos. I hope we'd be able to bring Austin and David here too for a family portrait. I absolutely love that Santa chair!







There's something wrong with my laptop's monitor I think coz the photos were not this saturated when I edited them. Oh well, I'll just edit them again before I have them printed.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Family photos

We finally had our family photo taken last Dec. 31 by my sister-in-law. Yehey!

We spent New Year's Eve at my sister-in-law, Len's house. My brother-in-law, Jerome cooked some steak, shrimp, scallop and baked sea bass, while I contributed lasagna and Austin made some shepherd's pie and tuna carbonara. We also bought lechon from Lydia's and a cake from Icings.

We didn't buy any fireworks this year because everyone's on tipid mode so we settled for watching other people's firework display.







After dinner, we had a family portrait session with Meng taking pictures on my in-law's family as well as our complete family picture (with Yaya pressing the button of the camera which was set on a tripod). It's been a while since we had our family portrait taken. It's quite hard to take a photo of everyone looking at the camera and trying to get a toddler's attention to look at the camera.

Then we had a videoke session and went home before 12 to avoid the fireworks on the street. Hope we will be having this photo session again next year and the years after.

Holiday photos

Sharing some holiday photos Meng took a few days ago.

This little boy of ours loves being in front of the camera. He willingly posed and told his daddy "Tingin" after each shot and went back to his position for another pose.

Some Christmas Photos

Here are some Christmas photos of Meng and me taken during Arlene's daughter, Anika's birthday and during Arlene's dad, Tito Diony's birthday.

We are sooo behind this Christmas with Christmas shoots and parties keeping us busy busy busy as well as our everyday work. I used to have my gifts done and all wrapped up by end of November, that by 2nd week of December, i have usually given out all my gifts. This year, I'm still wrapping and buying gifts a week before Christmas!

We haven't even had our annual Christmas family photo shoot (which just started last year..hehehe). With Meng and Jeff into photography and being the official photographers, Pia and my family do not have a lot of family pictures. So starting last year, Pia, Jeff and Ethan and our family agreed to schedule a day in December when we could have each other's family photos taken. We hope we could have it before Christmas, but if time doesn't permit us, we'll just have a post Christmas photo shoot. (Ethan, get well soon!)
